Fragrance information:

2018: the world took its first breath of Cairo Penhaligon's. A unisex fragrance from the east family. The talent of Christophe Raynaud is written all over this bottle. The fragrance belongs to the spicy, floral, and gourmet groups. The palette of this fragrance is exceptionally rich: traces of balsamic can also be found — a rare combination that makes this perfume truly one of a kind. Cairo — a proud member of the Trade Routes collection. The fragrance is presented as eau de parfum.

Expect a noticeable sillage — enough to be remembered, not enough to overwhelm. Expect high longevity: it stays close to the skin for hours. Brand country — the United Kingdom, with its deep-rooted relationship with the fragrance industry. Cairo Penhaligon's — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The note pyramid of Cairo unfolds as a continuous scent journey, where notes flow without rush and without gaps. The signature of Penhaligon's is clear in the way notes appear and fade. Nothing here feels random, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de parfum supports the right density and pace of development.

At olfactory-group level the composition is built around Balsamic, Floral, Gourmet and Spicy. The framework further includes Wood. Within olfactory families the scent maps to East.

Right at the start you sense petal-airy first note: Damask Rose.

In the heart you notice Frankincense and Saffron keeping a amber-incense direction.

The olfactory framework is built around these accords: Balsamic, Floral, Wood and Spicy forming a compact and readable structure. The profile is unisex, which clarifies the composition character. In wear duration High points to a sustained drydown presence. In trail behavior Noticeable shows the style of diffusion around the wearer.

Taken together Cairo sounds complete from start to finish — the opening sets direction, the heart develops the core line, and the base secures the trail. These are the fragrances best experienced in wear.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
High (5 to 12 hours)
4
Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.
Sillage

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.
