Egypt Gold Aromatic Liquid New Perfume from Penhaligon's Collection

Liquid gold has become a perfume with the scent of the civilization of Egypt, that eternal civilization, which is still one of the seven wonders of the world with its art and heritage steeped in beauty. Introducing Cairo, a new fragrance from Penhaligon's that offers a lively invitation on a journey through the endless luxury and sensuality of the fabled Egyptian city.

Cairo perfume is a shimmering golden landmark that harks back to the city's past. It is the cradle of scholarship and a center of commerce. The sky reflects its mathematical charm, while the earth offers an abundance of aromatic riches that defiantly grow from the sacred soil. This Mediterranean crucible contains thousands of minarets and thousands of aromatic gems.

It therefore makes sense that this new and eye-catching fragrance would be from Penhaligon's, a story set in the majestic and mysterious city of Cairo - a melting pot of fragrant essences too. Realizing that Cairo owes its history to the city and redefines itself in the modern world, perfumer Christophe Renault drew inspiration from the present and the past, from his recent travels to Egypt and also from the Louvre's collection of Egyptian antiques.

In order to create this new olfactory journey in the heart of this fabled city, the perfumer chose iconic ingredients from the ancient spice trade route: saffron and woods.

In the beginning, like the sun slowly rising over the ancient city, the fragrance opens with an intriguing touch of spice as saffron and burning incense reveal their erotic powers. And in the jade rose, a thousand faces and seductive faces create a perfect and astonishing middle note, imbued with beauty and rich in promise. The balsamic fragrance of gum laden, aromatic cypriol and vanilla pod convey the brilliant mirage of this eternal city. Finally, a trio of iconic woods is available: Sri Lankan sandalwood, Atlas cedarwood and patchouli reveal a softer yet more sensual and sensual destination.

Cairo is a fragrance that resembles the city that inspired it, instantly enchanting and revealing its deepest treasures over time. It is a journey like never before. The greatness of the Egyptian legend became yours day after day.
