Mausoleum At Halicarnassus

Mausoleum at Halicarnassus™ Perfume Oil: The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus was a tomb for the ruler Mausolus, built around 350 BCE in the Persian Empire. The tomb was designed by the Greek architects Satyros and Pythius of Priene and each of the four sides was adorned with sculptures and reliefs created by four Greek sculptors: Leochares, Bryaxis, Scopas and Timotheus. Antipater of Sidon identified it as one of his Seven Wonders of the Ancient World because of its aesthetic appeal. The ashes of Mausolus and his wife, Artemesia, were eventually laid to rest there. Lovely main notes are composed of an offering of: Sensual neroli attar, champaka flowers, light narcissus, vanilla bean, and darker resins that transport you to a world of kings and queens who lived and died long ago.
