What do reviewers say about Layla and Cairo?
The clove and nutmeg don't take over the way they do in most orientals. They're held in check by the sweetness underneath, sweetness that never gets cloying, warmth that never gets heavy.Layla
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
