Egypt is a very exclusive fragrance, and like Eight and Bob’s signature scent and Cap D’Antibes, there is a very interesting story behind it. Egypt was created in 1935 after a trip to Egypt where Albert Fouquet was visiting Ahmed, a childhood friend. At the same time, he took the opportunity to visit the pyramids of Egypt, because he had a deep fascination for the history and culture of ancient Egypt.
He was also determined to research the perfume ingredients used by Egyptians for thousands of years and Ahmeds garden, with so many fantastic flowers, all unknown to Albert, made the journey complete. He was so overwhelmed by new sensations that he had to return four months later to complete his work.
Egypt is a vibrant and warm, sweet scent with woody and spicy notes. Lavender, oak moss and lemon mingles with cardamom and nutmeg and is completed in a thrilling base of sandal wood, patchouli and leather that gives this scent a sensual and exclusive tone.
