In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Altesse Mysore reads as a rich amber floral with a soft rose and jasmine heart wrapped in plum, musk and warm woods. The opening brings pink pepper and elemi, then settles into a sweeter, powdery trail with patchouli, benzoin and vanilla. It suits shoppers who enjoy dressy, noticeable scents with a smooth oriental fee…

Reviews →

Acqua di Nabeel Absolute by Nabeel is a dense oriental spicy fragrance that pairs a sharp citrus opening with warm spices. Star anise, grapefruit, and a dry incense lead into a deep heart of leather and sweet notes before settling on a heavy base of oud and vanilla. It is best suited for cold autumn evenings.
