What does Cairo Nights smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Voters choose it most for nights out and evenings, and it is also worn for leisure and at the office. The sweet, spicy character suits cooler evenings.

It opens with lemon, bergamot and herbaceous notes for a fresh citrus feel. The heart of rose, jasmine and lily of the valley adds a soft floral touch, while patchouli and gaiac wood give a light woody depth. In the base, caramel, tonka bean and vanilla turn sweeter, and amber and musk leave a creamy, oriental trail.
