Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cairo EDP
A regal, spicy-woody rose that exudes opulence and mystery. Cairo envelops you in a golden glow of saffron, woods, and vanilla, striking a perfect balance between East and West.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Royal Oud Extrait
Royal Oud is Aromara's take on Dior Oud Ispahan, a regal rose-and-oud from the Privé collection - rose and saffron opening into an oud-patchouli-amber heart over sandalwood and cedarwood. Built at 35% Extrait.
