Miller et Bertaux's like an Egyptian... carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is a seriously divisive scent. It's an intense, avant-garde take on Middle Eastern spices and woods, truly for the adventurous and those who appreciate a challenging perfume experience. Definitely not for the faint of heart or the blind-buyer.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Also Works:
Date Formal

Given its long-lasting performance and moderate sillage, this isn't an everyday or office-friendly scent; many find it quite challenging and potentially offensive. It's best suited for night-time wear in cooler weather, making it more appropriate for a memorable date or a unique formal event rather than casual daytime activities or sport.

About

Like an Egyptian opens with a fiery kick of caraway and a trio of peppers, hot and aromatic. This quickly descends into a complex heart of earthy cypriol, rich oud, and a subtle rose, all amplified by the modern punch of Amber Xtreme. The base settles into a smoky, almost ancient landscape of dry vetiver, creamy sandalwood, and resinous labdanum, underpinned by the persistent warmth of ambrocenide, evoking old papyrus and sun-baked earth.
