Secret of the Nil - Nectar Olfactif Secret of the Nil by Nectar Olfactif is a fragrance inspired by the majestic Nile River in Egypt, whose origins still remain a mystery. Cradle of civilizations, the Nile is the source of a fertile land full of fruit trees and fields of flowers. The bee, a royal symbol of ancient Egypt, was considered by the pharaohs to have been born from the tears of the sun god Rê. The honey produced by bees was a drink for newlyweds, hence the expression "honeymoon". In addition, honey was widely used in pharmacopoeia and in embalming rituals.
