Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Cairo Summer opens with a spirited citrus burst of bergamot, quickly joined by the distinctive, somewhat soapy clean edge of neroli. As the initial brightness settles, a heart of jasmine, nutmeg, cardamom, and pink pepper emerges, adding a gentle spicy floral warmth. The base anchors this fresh composition with earthy patchouli, guaiac wood, cedar, and amber, providing a woody, slightly musky depth that gives it surprising longevity for a fresh-leaning scent. It’s predominantly a crisp, green citrus and white floral experience.
