Real talk
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
This is rose without apology. Not the polite kind that introduces itself at dinner parties, the kind that waits until the room thins out before it shows you what it can do.Rouge Nocturne
