What do reviewers say about Cairo and Salim Bagh 1619?
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
Salim Bagh 1619 is uncompromising. The oud presence is genuine, not synthetic, and the saffron-rose opening sets expectations for something that means business.Salim Bagh 1619
