What does Egypt smell like?

It opens with lavender, lemon and moss, which give a clean, slightly green freshness. Nutmeg and cardamom bring the spice in the heart, along with a sweet, oriental touch. Patchouli, sandalwood and leather settle underneath as an earthy, leathery base.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Fall leads the votes, with spring and winter close behind. Leisure, work and evenings out are suggested about equally. Most voters read it as masculine and classic. Création Lamis Pure Black and Câline Oud Extreme have a close profile.
