Nice smell
You can really smell the different spices on first sprays and it does instantly remind you of Egypt and such! I really liked this frangrance and would buy it. It's a kind of delicate but powerful frangrance , hard to understand but if you smell it you will understand!

EXCELLENT
this is a very very good perfume, it has Oud and leather scent to it, and it it gives like pharaonic vibe to it, it feels like royalty, it has a strong smell but doesnt stay for that long, so it is good for nightout
by guest
Lovely scent
I really enjoy a strong scent and this one is. I do really love the rich smell it had to it. The longevity of the product is good although I like it to be really strong all day which it does fade but then many other brands do too
by guest
Smells Earthy!
This is a great perfume. I love using it and it has been the highlight of my day. The smell is so exotic and wonderful. I have worn it to church and work and have received so many compliments. My brother loved it so much and I am going to get it for him as a birthday present. Would definitely recommend this. The packaging and perfume quality is great and the smell is even better.
by guest
Smelling like a million pound!!
Just WOW, can’t believe how good this perfume smells, I’ve had so many compliments, you don’t even need to use a lot, a quick spray on the neck and wrists and that’s it, best thing about this perfume is even after I’ve washed my clothes I can still smell it. LOVE IT
by guest
I love this!
This fragrance is wonderful, in fact it’s definitely my new favourite! The spicey notes just stick through and smell incredible. The scent seems to really last too, I loved wearing this on a special meal out (it’s perfect for evening wear I think)
by guest
Gorgeous
This scent is gorgeous, I really love it. Its my first time trying this brand so I was curious to see the quality and fragrance. The scent is warm but also fresh and clean, reminds me of after a heavy rain on holiday. It lasted well even with just one squirt, I would recommend.
by guest
Very nice

by guest
Great parfum
This smelled amazing. Gutted I only got a sample size. As it was pleasantly a wonderful aroma. It packs a punch without being offensive and is long lasting too. Perhaps a great choice of gift as Christmas approaches.
by guest
Wonderful smell
This is just a superior perfume. Two sprays and I smell delightful all day. The compliments on what scent I am wearing come thick and fast. I am quick to recommend Cairo, the wonderful smell is truly amazing! A little more of an expensive product but you are paying for an elite product.
by guest
Sophisticated smell
I would say it’s quite a sophisticated smell, definitely one to wear on special occasions when you want to be fancy. It’s long lasting and packs a punch but not too much I’d say it’s perfect really. Had plenty of compliments.
by guest
Love love love
Got as a sample to try and can honestly say it does not dissapoint . The fresh notes of vanilla and rose is amazing a little goes along way lasted most of the day and was asked by many what make it was definitely a must . Might have to treat to a full size
by guest
Smells divine!
I recently saw this product in stores and decoded to smell it and i must say it truly smells divine. Being a Damascus scent if i was ti summarise it in a few words id say it smells rich,expensive and very musky Arab. My brothers also loved the scent and will surely be purchasing. As for its longevity, the smell is very masculine and strong therefore last ages and i found that upon the second day it was still very noticeable on the clothing. Upon wearing this i received many compliments and will surely be purchasing this product in future.
by guest
Loving this!!!
A beautiful saffron vanilla fragrance that smells truly amazing. It has a very elegant scent that makes you feel luxurious. Does have a sweet edge to it but smells gorgeous that it's hard to notice. Lasts a very long time and the scent lingers on the clothes next day too.
by guest
Nice!
I love the way Cairo smells on my skin. It is a complex and well-balanced fragrance that is both elegant and sensual. I find that it is most suitable for evening wear, but it can also be worn during the day for special occasions. Both for men & women.

Out of this world
Penhaligon's Cairo is nothing short of extraordinary. Its scent is simply out of this world, a true olfactory masterpiece. With enchanting notes of Damascan rose, spices, saffron, and an intense fumum undertone, it weaves a fragrance that is both exotic and captivating. What sets Cairo apart is the perfect balance of Patchouli and vanilla notes, creating a harmonious blend that's warm and inviting. The moment you apply it to your skin, you're enveloped in a luxurious and inviting aroma that lingers throughout the day. One of the remarkable aspects of Penhaligon's Cairo is its longevity. It stays with you from morning to night, which is a testament to its high-quality ingredients and craftsmanship. I've received countless compliments when wearing it, with people often inquiring about this alluring scent. A significant advantage of Cairo is its unisex appeal. It's a versatile fragrance that can be enjoyed by both men and women, making it a fantastic addition to any perfume collection. I've even shared it with my partner, and they love it as much as I do.

by guest
Cairo rose
You know that feeling, when you all nicely dressed for going out, but something is incomplete? Cairo perfume completes it! It's like a missing puzzle piece. Like a nice necklace. Smell wraps you all around and boosts with confidence. If you like strong, spicy, creamy smell then this is a must have for autumn and winter.

This perfume smells amazing. It gives a long lasting scent that isn’t too overpowering but is nice that people can smell it and have given me many compliments. I love wearing it and get a nice whiff every now and then.

Cairo eau de patfum
Great not a very sweet flowery smell like you get with some purfumes I just love it looking for the full size bottle I have warn it every day for work and people keep asking what it is I am wearing just love it
by guest
Smells Wonderful
A wonderful scent which lasts all day, lots of compliments. This has a warm saffron spice and would suit all men. It is sensual and my husband loved wearing it. Would recommend to anyone and worth the price too!
by guest
Woody scent
Such a really woody and spicy fragrance, can be used for both male and female. My sister in law has taken a liking to the perfume and has my husband. It does have hints of a sweet undertone as well but can be used for either.
by guest
Awsome
Really enjoyed trying this product for week. For me it's a bit floral and sweet smelling i prefer more earthy and woody scents. On the other hand it's long lasting scent really will last all day and night.
by guest
slightly masculine notes
I love perfume with a lot of old fashioned rose scent combined with patchouli. At first I could pick up the damask rose scent but after a few hours the woody earthy overtones came through which I wasn't a fan of. Reminded me slightly of an aftershave rather than the floral perfume I was hoping for. But that's just my preference.
by guest
Delicious smell
I don't have a very sophisticated nose, so can't really comment on the individual components of this scent, but I can say without a doubt, I really like it. To me, it is warm, musky and spicy, exactly the sort of perfume I like to wear. Having said that, I was very disappointed in how long the scent lasted on my skin, it disappeared way too quickly compared to my regular brand. Neither did I receive any compliments on the smelll whilst wearing it, which I regularly do when wearing my normal perfume.
by guest
A perfect blend
This fragrance has the perfect blend of sandalwood, saffron and cedar. It's longevity is great, I only applied once during the day and could still smell it over 24 hours later. Can be worn by anyone, it's more of a unisex product. Highly recommended for any occasion.
by guest
Amazing smell
This perfume smells so good. One puff lasts all day and I like that it is not too strong. This is the first time trying this brand and I would highly recommend to people looking for a perfume with a subtle smell.
by guest
Intense, magical and longlasting
This is one big perfume. I love my scents to be multilayered and interesting and Cairo from Penhaligon does not disappoint. It starts with a blast of rosy oud sweetness, quickly developing to a darker amber smoke with spicy undercurrents. I also get a lot of wood musk shades throughout the day, reminding me of incense and old churches. This fragrance could work equally well for male or female wearers and it has amazing longevity, lasting many hours on my skin as a strong scent, and days on my clothes. Use very sparingly as it really does stay put and a little goes a very long way. The description from Penhaligon is beautifully poetic, harking back to a sunrise in an ancient city and the scent does make me picture an ornate and sumptuous Mediterranean landscape. It’s a very intense perfume, for lovers of complex, magical scents – I’d say it’s best for special occasions or evening-wear but this could also quite easily become a signature scent. It would certainly conjure up memories, and turn heads!
by guest
Lovely smell
I have been wearing this for a few days now and although I love the smell it is very strong when first misting. My recommendation would be to spritz it and move under the most so it doesn’t just hit one spot on your skin. I’ve found that it’s much more of an appealing smell that way. The smell itself is fresh. It has tones of woodyness and spice. I like it and will definitely purchase.
by guest
Good product
Initially, the smell is intense and a little suffocating, but after a few moments the smell is wonderful. The scent holds for a very long time, even after multiple hand washes the smell was still lovely and prominent
by guest
Different and long lasting
Slightly sweet and floral, but definitely masculine. There’s a hint of something that almost smells like menthol. It’s woody and a bit exotic. Made me think of someplace hot, selling spices I wouldn’t recognise. I could smell it all day, it has staying power, and it smells ‘different’ to a lot of colognes. Like this a lot.
by guest
Amazing smell
Penhaligon’s have a great selection of fragrances, which are long-lasting, and I love, supreme quality. Kara is a favourite that can be worn by men or women which makes it easily adaptable. It has a fresh and unique smell and will last all day on the skin. It has become one of my favourites.
by guest
Love it
Love it. Smells amazing. One spray lasted all day. Everyone commented on how lovely it smelled. This is my new favourite now. Definitely worth to buy for yourself and a gift. I would be the happiest girl on earth if someone bought me this
by guest
Amazing
This was my first time trying this scent and it certainly won’t be my last. It is such a warm spicy scent which just smells amazing. It’s also very long lasting and I got lots of compliments throughout the day.
by guest
Smells increidble
Been wanting to try this product for ages and I am so glad I finally got the chance. It smells absolutely incredible and lasted all day long on me. I would say it’s more of an evening scent but i will probably end up using it all day!
by guest
Gorgeous long lasting perfume.
I love trying new perfumes and this one is a definite winner. It is a gorgeous unusual perfume . By unusual I mean it,s like walking through a spice bazaar and smelling all the lovely different spices. I have had lots of compliments when wearing it and it lasts all day and through the night. This is now one of my favourites and I highly recommend you try it.
by guest

Sensual scent
If you like a strong powerful scent then this is surely for you. It has the warmth of labdanum and vanilla ,this blends beautifully with roundness of rose and the softness of incense and sandalwood i would say this is a unisex scent. This really does last all day and still smells as good as when you put it on. I always get lots of compliments when I wear this
by guest

by Antonia Fiander
Colour me SOLD!
I've yet to purchase the full size but I recently tried the Trade Routes sample set simply because this was in it. I love all things incense and this does not disappoint. On first sniff I get a rich blackened vanilla, a warm nuzzly amber with rich dark rose. Creamy cashmere notes open up at the centre to reveal an otherworldly wisp of incense with patchouli at the base There's a lot going on all at once. Just as one might imagine the atmosphere in Cairo at night time. I really need this for my winter perfume collection. Chefs kiss!

Absolutely stunning
The warm vanilla and sandalwood tones of this fragrance smell amazing. A little bit goes a long way and it lasts all day. As soon as it hits the skin it oozes luxury. It’s warm and inviting and it’s perfect for both men and women. I’ve received so many compliments when wearing. It is definitely worth the money. It’s a confidence booster to say the least.
