My grandmother had a mousie collection, and there among them was a mouse identical to the one pictured above. It contained the same mysterious brown liquid and everything.

In episode 6 of season 2 of Netflix’s reality TV show Blown Away, “Scents and Sensibility,” the theme is perfume bottles, and the contestants have “to design one exquisite perfume bottle in two different sizes. Both need to have sculpted stoppers.”
The contestant Nao Yamamoto makes a piece inspired by the Egyptian perfume bottle. She says, “Egyptian perfume bottle literally makes me so happy whenever I see it. I used to love collecting them, and that was one of my first moments that I was drawn to glass. Back then, people used rose petals and lemongrass, and I’m thinking if I could put those elements inside of the bottle, it might be a little more interesting.”
One of the judges, Katherine Gray, says, “The ancient Egyptians, 5,000 years ago, made very small glass vials for what we assume were fragrances. They weren’t blown. This was before the advent of blown glass.”
The host, Nick Uhas, then says, “I wonder what that smelled liked. What did the pharaoh smell like?”
The other judge, Michel Germain, replies, “Frankincense, myrrh. Some of these ingredients go back to biblical times, right?”
The finished product by Nao Yamamoto is titled “Once Upon a Time in Egypt” and is seen above.
When I was in Egypt, we tourists had a short demonstration of glass blowing, and then we had an opportunity to browse and purchase glass perfume bottles (as seen below) and scents. The bottles were so fine and dainty that I feared that in my hands I would crush them. I loved the colours, and each bottle was unique.
