Penhaligons Cairo

A rich, opulent amber floral fragrance inspired by the warmth, mystery and grandeur of ancient Cairo, Penhaligon’s Cairo blends luxurious Damask rose, exotic spices and creamy woods with a deep, resinous warmth. It opens with a captivating combination of velvety Damask rose and golden saffron, creating a warm, spicy floral introduction with a distinctly Middle Eastern character. The heart reveals smooth vanilla, earthy cypriol and rich labdanum, adding a balsamic, slightly smoky sweetness with an intriguing woody depth. As it settles, creamy sandalwood, cedar and patchouli create a warm, earthy and beautifully enveloping dry-down- giving the fragrance a sophisticated balance of rose, spice, amber and woods that feels both timeless and indulgent.
