About Keméra & Co.
Our Story
Deeply rooted in the traditions of ancient Kemet—Egypt’s original name, meaning ‘The Black Land’—Keméra & Co. draws inspiration from the wisdom of the ancient Egyptians, masters of many arts, including perfumery and sacred scent craft who cultivated this first fragrance known to humanity.
The people of ancient Kemet referred to this sweet and spicy sacred incense as Kapet, a name recorded in temple inscriptions and woven into their ritual practices. The Greeks later adapted the name as Kyphi. At Keméra & Co., we honor and respect the legacy of ancient Kemet by reviving the time-honored art of crafting Kapet—an exquisite symphony of scents, an olfactory orchestra that transcends time. Once used in Egyptian temples, royal palaces, and homes of the upper classes as symbols of quality and prestige that provided healing, relaxation, and dream enhancement. Kapet was an integral part of Egyptian religious ceremonies and rituals. It is piece of ancient history, revered for its role in Egyptian spirituality, medicine, and daily life.
Handcrafted with the finest resins, botanicals, and spices, our blends are aged to perfection over several months, ensuring each Kapet sphere embodies the richness of history and the refinement of tradition. More than a fragrance, Kapet serves as a bridge between past and present, inviting you to experience the sacred scents once revered by the people of Kemet for thousands of years. Whether as an aid for prayers, meditation, yoga, restful sleep, or simply to infuse your space with long lasting aromas, Keméra & Co. invites you to indulge in an ancient luxury—now preserved for the future.
