Researchers in France have recreated the perfume of the pharaohs, a scent believed to have been used by the ancient Egyptians to boost their love lives. But there's a hitch: The ingredients of Kyphi perfume, an aphrodisiac that helps wearers relax, include marijuana, so it can't be made commercially. The legendary aphrodisiac was concocted by experts from L'Oreal and the Center for Research and Restoration of French Museums.Researcher Sandrine Videault based the formula on the writings of Greek historian Plutarch. The numerous ingredients include pistachios, mint, cinnamon, incense, juniper and myrrh. - --- MAP posted-by: Jo-D
