In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Aafu by Nabeel is a dense unisex perfume oil that merges animalic leather with bright orange blossom. It settles into a warm base of amber and smoky incense, making it a heavy option for cold weather. The fragrance projects a traditional Middle Eastern style with a modern touch of sweet vanilla.

Reviews →

Abuser by Testament London is a dry, boozy woody blend that pairs heavy dark rum and cognac with a medicinal oud base. It fits cold autumn nights, wrapping the wearer in a dense cloud of tobacco leaf and burning birch wood.
