In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

101 by Odoratika opens with a sharp burst of quince and citron, transitioning into a woody, aromatic heart of sake and hinoki. This unisex scent balances bright citrus notes against earthy bamboo and cypress on the skin. It suits those seeking an easygoing, modern fragrance for daytime wear during the spring months.

Reviews →

Al Bashiq by Nabeel delivers a heavy dose of leather, dark resins, and bitter almond. It is a bold, cold weather scent that cuts through freezing air, pairing best with heavy wool coats or leather jackets during winter nights.
