    What do reviewers say about Tabac Rose and Cairo?

    This is not a polite rose. The chocolate and tobacco anchor it into something darker and more honest. If you want sweet and clean, look elsewhere. If you want something with weight and character,.Tabac Rose
    Cairo is not an obvious fragrance. The rose is not a rose soliflore, and the resins are not a generic oud replacement. This is thoughtful construction from Raynaud, and it rewards patience.Cairo
