Didn't the Egyptians add herbs to their wax as a perfume?

Lol.  I read that title as "FW: Ca N dle spices" and my first thought was Oh! so there might be some evidence that candles were actually spiced in period!"

I doubt it though, since most candles would have been tallow candles and beeswax candles are nice enough smelling as is, but does anyone have evidence to the contrary?
