Gliding down the Nile isn’t all about pyramids and grand monuments. Pause for a moment and the river reveals a slower, more connected story — one written in the rhythm of daily life.
Children tumble joyfully into the water, papyrus reeds sway in the breeze, and the scent of cardamom and sandalwood drifts from weathered market stalls. Along the banks, villagers and their camels rest beneath the palms, framed by dunes in a scene unchanged since the days of the pharaohs.
This is where the true magic of Egypt lies — not in grandeur, but in simple, ancient ritual.
It’s this enduring rhythm — where the land and its scents awaken the spirit — that inspired our Souljrny Collection of pure Egyptian essential oils.
Rose Oil — Anāhata (Heart Chakra)
soften the heart • steady emotions • invite self-love
Pure Egyptian rose, hand-picked at first light and distilled the same day, captures the flower’s most potent fragrance and energy. Used for centuries in rituals of love, compassion, and emotional balance, its velvety bloom opens Anāhata, the heart centre — soothing grief and restoring tenderness. One drop on the wrist or over the heart softens the edges of the day and lifts the spirit naturally.
Ritual & Use
A touch at the wrists encourages a kinder state of mind, replacing sharpness with patience.
Evening Ritual
Add two drops of rose oil to a diffuser or a warm bath as the light softens. Inhale slowly and let the floral warmth melt the day’s edges. Feel the shoulders drop, the breath deepen, and the heart soften — to yourself first, then to the world.
Shop Rose Oil — pure emotion distilled.
Blue Lotus — Sahasrāra & Ājñā (Crown & Third Eye)
quiet the mind • deepen sleep • awaken intuition
The blue lotus grows in still waters along the banks of the Nile, traditionally gathered at night when its perfume is most alive. A soft, calming bloom, it invites the mind to slow. Its gentle floral essence moves through Sahasrāra and Ājñā, clearing the day’s noise and opening space for rest and reflection.
Ritual & Use
Worn at the pulse points or diffused before sleep, it steadies the breath and eases the mind — a quiet return to balance, even in the hum of city life.
Evening Ritual
Diffuse two drops before bed or press a diluted drop to the wrists. As the scent unfurls, let thoughts slow and the breath stretch. The room dims into blue calm — a gentle drift between waking and dreams.
Explore Blue Lotus — Egypt’s sacred flower of awakening.
Amber — Maṇipūra (Solar Plexus Chakra)
lift the mood • ease tension • clear the mind
Warm, golden, and deeply comforting, Egyptian amber carries the sun’s calm energy.
Traditionally used to quiet the nervous system and ease emotional fatigue, its resinous scent restores inner balance and gently uplifts low moods.
Linked with Maṇipūra, the solar plexus chakra, amber strengthens confidence and focus—helping the mind clear when days feel heavy or scattered. Its lingering warmth settles anxiety and brings a quiet strength that radiates from within.
Ritual & Use
A drop on the pulse points or diffused through the room creates a calm, grounded atmosphere that feels both centred and bright.
Inhale slowly—it steadies thoughts, lightens the mood, and restores a sense of quiet vitality.
Evening Ritual
Add two drops to a diffuser or a warm bath after sunset. As the golden scent unfolds, let the mind unwind and the breath deepen. The day’s noise fades, replaced by a steady calm that clears tension and makes space for peaceful focus.
Amber — clarity, confidence, and calm in golden light.
Eucalyptus — Vishuddha (Throat Chakra)
clear the air • calm the nerves • breathe with intention
Though native to Australia, eucalyptus has found its place in Egypt’s traditional healing rituals — used for clarity, breath, and renewal. Its cool, purifying aroma opens the airways, sharpens focus, and settles the nervous system after long, crowded days.
Associated with Vishuddha, the chakra of voice and truth, it helps restore rhythm and calm presence.
Ritual & Use
A few drops rubbed across the chest or added to steaming water ease tension and restore flow. Inhale deeply — let it lift what feels heavy, clear the weight of the day, and return your breath to balance.
Evening Ritual
Add three drops to shower steam or a bowl of hot water. Feel the clarity open the airways and the mind. The noise of the day fades, leaving quiet confidence — calm, clear, connected.
Breathe Eucalyptus — clarity in every breath.
Papyrus — Maṇipūra (Solar Plexus Chakra)
focus the mind • choose with confidence • power your day
Papyrus grows where water meets sand — tall, green, and steady against the desert wind. Its clean, herbal scent carries the calm of still water and the quiet strength of sun-warmed sand. Linked with Maṇipūra, the solar plexus chakra, papyrus oil clears mental fog and strengthens resolve. Diffused in the morning, it helps you breathe deeper, think clearer, and move with purpose.
Ritual & Use
A few drops on the wrists or temples before work invite structure and flow, replacing rush with rhythm.
Evening Ritual
Diffuse two drops while you stretch, write, or tidy your space at day’s end. The crisp green scent steadies thought and restores direction — bringing focus back to what truly matters.
Breathe Papyrus — clarity, confidence, and calm in motion.
Myrrh — Mūlādhāra (Root Chakra)
ground the nerves • feel protected • return to centre
Harvested from Egypt’s desert trees, myrrh has long been a sacred resin — burned in temples to purify space, anoint the body, and honour the divine. Its warm, balsamic depth brings calm strength and quiet protection.
Linked with Mūlādhāra, the root chakra, myrrh steadies the nervous system, eases restlessness, and reconnects you to the earth beneath your feet.
Ritual & Use
Diffuse at dusk or massage (diluted) into the soles. The breath slows, the body steadies, the room grows quiet.
Evening Ritual
Add a few drops to a diffuser or warm bowl of water as the evening settles. Sit for a moment in low light; breathe slowly and feel the weight of the day release. Myrrh grounds the body and calls you gently home to yourself.
Myrrh — grounding energy, timeless calm.
Frankincense — Sahasrāra & Ājñā (Crown & Third Eye)
clear the mind • lengthen the breath • find quiet focus
Drawn from desert trees as golden “tears,” frankincense releases a bright, citrus-resin aroma — once burned in temples to lift prayer and purify space. In the modern world, it works as a pause between moments: one breath lengthens, the next clears, and calm returns.
Linked with the crown and third eye chakras, it supports meditation, reflection, and any time you seek quiet focus.
Ritual & Use
Diffuse at dawn or dusk, or add two drops to a steaming bowl beside your workspace to refresh perspective.
Evening Ritual
Add two drops to a diffuser or mug of steaming water. Close your eyes for three long breaths. The air expands, the noise fades, and clarity returns — a calm exhale after the day.
Frankincense — serenity, clarity, and breath in balance.
Sandalwood — Sahasrāra (Crown Chakra)
calm the whole system • deepen meditation • leave a lasting peace
Smooth and creamy, sandalwood carries a quiet devotion — the scent of stillness.
Linked with Sahasrāra, the crown chakra, it opens gentle space for reflection and softens overactive thoughts, while its warm, woody base keeps you lightly grounded. The result is a calm that feels both rooted and transcendent.
Ritual & Use
A touch at the collarbone before meditation, or a drop on the wrists before sleep, steadies the breath and settles the mind.
Evening Ritual
Diffuse two drops as you dim the lights and clear the room. Let the golden, velvety aroma linger while the day dissolves — a hush that stays with you like the Nile after sunset.
Sandalwood — stillness that stays.
The Sacred Blend — Myrrh, Frankincense & Sandalwood
ground the nerves • clear the mind • deepen ritual
For centuries, Egyptians have paired myrrh and frankincense in sacred rituals — a union of grounding and clarity. With sandalwood, the trio becomes warm, resinous, and deeply restorative — the scent of calm devotion that lingers after the flame fades.
How to Use
- Diffuser (evening calm): 3 drops frankincense + 2 drops myrrh
- Anointing oil (10 ml jojoba): 4 drops frankincense + 3 drops myrrh

- Sleep diffuser: 2 drops frankincense + 1 drop myrrh + 1 drop sandalwood.
- Skin blend (1% / 30 ml carrier): 6 drops frankincense + 3 drops myrrh.
Why it works: Myrrh anchors, frankincense lifts, sandalwood harmonises — balancing body and mind with quiet strength that feels both ancient and alive.
