Egypt
Egypt by Eight and Bob is a masculine-leaning eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with lavender, oakmoss and lemon, moves into cardamom and nutmeg and dries down to sandalwood, leather and patchouli. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
Heart
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
- Nutmeg Warm, woody and slightly sweet. Cosy without being gourmand.
Dry-down
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
