In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

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.

Reviews →

Amordad Prince offers a green, resinous escape built on fresh cypress and sharp grapefruit. Cardamom warms the initial crisp bite, which gradually softens into an earthy suede base. It is a dry, clean fragrance designed for men who want a grounded, aromatic presence without heavy sweetness.
