Pyramid of Khufu is a lovely amber perfume. NAVA’s limestone amber is prominent- a nearly nutty, smooth and warm amber that leans a little dry rather than caramel-ish. Limestone amber layers very well, and is featured in NA’s limited edition Prehistoria line for a reason! Overall, PoK has both sweet and powdery nuances but manages to be neither; instead, it is a mellow, comforting, authentic amber.
I prefer a rougher, stronger, more pungent amber (like NA’s Royal Amber) and PoK is just too mild for my taste, but PoK is a good example of non-gourmand amber and an excellent starter amber for those wanting to dip a toe in without being smothered by resins.
