🎥 Check out this nice video showcasing our work! We've recreated the ancient fragrance used in the mummification of an ancient Egyptian noblewoman, Senetnay, dating back to around 1,450 BC. This smell can be experienced at the Moesgaard Museum and is a great blend of science and sensory experience!
