In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Alien Les Parfums de Cuir takes the signature solar jasmine of the original Alien and wraps it in warm, buttery leather.

Reviews →

Nabeel Irth arrives as a dense, sweet-spicy scent that commands attention. Released in 2023, it merges a heavy dose of dried fruits, strawberry, and cinnamon with a dark base of leather, amber, and incense. It fits best in freezing winter weather, wrapping the wearer in a thick, warm shield of exotic spices and woods.
