Uh... Is there one?

First of all, I have to say that, unlike my previous reviewers, I can't detect anything musty here at all.

On the contrary, the fragrance convinces me from the first second of spraying until the drydown fades away.

Slightly sweet - woody with a small portion of freshness, this somewhat aged Egyptian comes around the pyramid corner.

I doubt whether it really smells like this in Egypt, but that doesn't really matter. Names are relative...

Lavender, cardamom and sandalwood are the main players here. Patchouli and nutmeg completely escape my nose and the leather is also rather far in the background. Amber joins in over time and makes the overall impression a little more rounded.

I can't detect the often-cited synthetics either, everything seems very harmoniously composed and in my eyes, or rather my nose, it has become a good, light oriental all-rounder that you can wear anywhere without being offputting.
