PERFUME, POTIONS and RITUAL in ANCIENT EGYPT by Liz Newman
Part I: Origins and Incense
Perfume has always been important beyond the basic desire to smell good and its uses go way back to the world of our dance origins. In ancient Egypt, the hieroglyph for ‘nose' was used in every word that meant ‘pleasure' or ‘to be pleased'. The Egyptians were passionate about scents, perfume and potions!

Nafoura Magazine
- Sadly no longer published it set standards and trends.
I had a monthly column in it reviewing Planet Egypt monthly shows, featuring images by our photographers and also introducing my wonderful Team
My interview can be found here
I was approached as the Editor Evete was intrigued by people's opinion of me and she wanted to have her own (informed) opinion of me.
It was a potentially challenging premise as you will see. and it was published in 2009 I believe.
I must say that it was rather disconcerting to be approached for an interview with the title in mind..... however Evete wanted to make her own mind up as she did not know me, and the strength of feeling towards me (or against) intrigued her
I chose to be opened minded about it and proceeded thereafter to contribute a monthly column..... make the best of adversity (wink!)
Evete and I got on really well and it was a dream to collaborate with her, and one I benefitted from enormously.....
Here is my review of the Hanover Festival World of Orient in Germany
