The sun rising over Cairo brings warm saffron spice. Soon, all is life. Damascena rose and labdanum bloom above sensual patchouli. This city’s eau de parfum is ancient, but born anew each day.

Overpriced

A subtly oriental fragrance, sweet. It evokes associations more with a bazaar full of sun-warmed, juicy fruits and dried fruits than with smoky, incense, or leathery notes. Quite fleeting, with a close-to-skin sillage.
