Bringing Ancient Scents Back to Life

The re-enactment of Mycenaean perfumed oils

Our team of philologists, chemists, and historians is recreating ancient fragrances drawing on evidence from the Linear B texts from 3500 years ago. The project involves interpreting inscriptions on clay tablets, sourcing ingredients, identifying the most appropriate manufacturing steps, and testing the resulting perfumes.
