What do reviewers say about Cafe and Cairo?
Here's the thing about Cafe: the name promises coffee and delivers something else entirely. An oriental that opens herbal and ends powdery. For some it's a soap scandal.Cafe
This isn't a fragrance that whispers. It's the kind that walks into a room and you notice because something's shifted. Warm, yes, but with a spiced edge that keeps it from tipping into comfort.Cairo
