What do reviewers say about Radical Rose and Cairo?
Some will smell the saffron-pepper opening and hesitate. Those who stay find a rose that refuses to be gentle, dark, warm, and built for someone who doesn't need permission to take up space.Radical 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
