What does Egyptian Seduction smell like?

Jasmine and rose absolute give it a floral sweetness, while pepper and spices pull it in a warm, oriental direction. Sandalwood, musk and oud form a soft, woody base under them. A fresh edge among the accords keeps the sweetness from turning heavy.

Its longevity is rated very strong and its sillage strong, though few people have voted, so these ratings are tentative. The oriental, spicy build suits cooler weather, and it is presented as a men's fragrance. Khalis Hasna and My Geisha Arabian Nights have a close profile.
