THE MIRA TAKLA TRAGEDY. Cairo-
born Egyptian Parliamentarian and
Egyptologist Mira Takla created the
perfume “Vallee des Rois” (Valley of
the Kings) in 1988 after translating
heiroglyphic perfume formulas from
temple walls at Edfu, Dendera and Philae. Her wish to cast a light on the
opulence and genius of ancient
Egyptian dynasties resulted in this
perfume which was sold exclusively
through Harrods in London and
Galleries Lafayette in Paris. However,
its commercial life was short lived.
Takla spent $1.3M on organising a
titanic PR event for the ‘Vallee des
Rois’ launch; inviting 30 renowned
beauty and fashion journalists from
the UK on a 5 night adventure staying
at the celubrious Heliopolis Sheraton
Hotel northeast of Cairo. Takla spent
months planning a luxury cruise
down the Nile from Luxor to Aswan,
where - on an island in the middle of
the Nile - bottles of perfume had
been hidden in the bullrushes for
the visiting beauty writers to
discover. The press jaunt was set to
culminate in a lavish banquet in the
Aida ballroom of the Marriot Hotel in
Cairo. Guests at the dinner were to be
showered with gifts at the event,
including the sumptuously packaged
perfume. These plans, however, never came to fruition. Just 4 hours after
checking into the Heliopolis Sheraton
Hotel, embers from an outdoor open-
air fire pit ignited a canopy swathed
in fabric. With gusting desert winds
that fanned the flames, the entire
Hotel soon caught alight, and flames
lapped from windows on every floor.
In an era devoid of smoke detectors
and sprinkler systems, pandemonium
broke out as hotel guests fled for
their lives; the entire hotel now
ablaze. Tragically, when the flames
were finally quashed, 19 people had
perished, including 3 journalists from
Takla's party. The lives of the three
journalists, the hundreds of
thousands of pounds worth of lost
possessions and the investment of
more than $3 million dollars in the
perfume by Mira Takla meant that the
launch of the fragrance was also
quashed, and the scent never
reached its full commercial potential
before being retired shortly after.
Bottles of “Vallee des Rois” are scant
and command stratospheric prices
on the internet.
