David Pybus talks about his perfumes: About David Pybus
David Pybus is a twenty first century Alchemist and Aromancer. His mission in life is to get people to stop their frenetic living from time to time and to smell the roses (or the coffee!) Also known as the Indiana Jones of the perfume industry (he is also known as the Perfume Hunter, since Hunter is his middle Christian name) he has spent a large part of his life searching for, collecting and re-creating perfumes from history. Fragrances which have stood the test of time and proved to be remarkably fit for modern days. After all cinnamon has been cinnamon, and rose rose, for millennia. Nothing is new under the sun and the ancients blended perfumes just as well as any contemporary nose. David is also a best selling author of a number of books on perfumery, with two more books due to be launched this year, and more , including "Scents of Time" the stories behind these discoveries, ready for a publisher.
Scents of Time rediscovers perfumes lost in history and recreates them for today’s modern fragrance user. The Company owner, David Pybus, is well known globally as the Indiana Jones of the Scent industry and has travelled to over 100 countries in his search for lost scents. David Pybus is qualified in chemistry and marketing, and has lived and worked on three continents, travelling to over one hundred countries. His fascination with archaeology and history, coupled with a long business career in the fragrance industry, led to the concept of Scents of Time. David's first taste of lost perfumes was during a three year sojourn as an ex-pat to Mexico, and this was quickly followed up with visits to Egypt, Italy and Cyprus, working with others to bring again to the light of day lost aromas of our ancient civilisations. Having arranged for the fragrances of RMS Titanic to be brought back to England for analysis and re-creation by world-renowned perfumers, the idea of a fully fledged business took form.
THE STORY BEHIND ANKH THE NAME OF THE FRAGRANCE The Ankh symbol was the Egyptian hieroglyphic character that stood for “life”. The gods of Egypt were often portrayed carrying it by its loop, or bearing one in each hand, arms crossed over their chest. Its other names include the Egyptian Cross, the key of life, or “handled cross” from the Latin crux ansata. Ankh is based on the known formula of Kyphi, the thrice-burnt incense of Egypt. It was fired at dawn to welcome the sun God Amen, at midday to mark its highest point and at eventide to remind the sun god to return.
