What do reviewers say about Sultan Noir and Cairo?
The aldehydic opening is love-it-or-leave-it, but that champagne sparkle is exactly what makes a 1980 composition feel alive. Once the florals warm up, you're in it for the long haul.Sultan Noir
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
