What does Aegyptus smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick autumn and spring, and it is mostly worn for leisure, daily use and the office. Voters read it as more feminine than masculine, though it stays unisex in outline.

The opening pairs green notes, ylang-ylang, bergamot and fruity notes for a fresh, lightly sweet start. Iris, jasmine and rose form a floral heart, and the base of woody, musky, powdery and oriental notes softens it and adds a spicy warmth. Fragrantia Secrets Pía and Escada Escada Margaretha Ley (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
