Though they do have that nice spicy scent, akin to incense you’d smell at a Catholic Church, there is defo a hint of dry rot.
The British urge to eat mummies still going strong
My god this is an outrage, I was going to eat that mummy! Fry has got to go!
Described by William Dampier, a 17th-century British pirate as “extraordinary large and fat, and so sweet, that no pullet eats more pleasantly”.

How do they feel when you roll them under your tongue?
Smooth.
Do not leave archeologists or geologists alone with a mummy.
when I die I better be buried with some awesome cologne like these mummies!
Can I get this as a perfume? Maybe Axe could do a thing?
Axe: Spicy Pharaoh
Relevant Smithsonian article.
I’d probably skip on the animal fat and bitumen, but cedar, juniper, and cypress all smell pretty good.
Apparently the scent could also vary slightly depending on who was being embalmed.
i dunno, musky scents like that do have their place in the perfume world, in moderation.
