In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Alya by Nabeel is a rich oriental floral fragrance that wraps white florals in warm spices and deep woodiness. Rose, jasmine, and vanilla lead the scent, making it an excellent choice for cold winter evenings when you want a fragrance that hugs the skin and lingers for hours.

Reviews →

L'Eau de Circe 05 is a sweet floral fragrance built on a base of white peach and honey. The composition stays soft, utilizing green notes to cut the initial sugary fruitiness. It projects a quiet, vintage cosmetic vibe that fits relaxed weekend wear during warm spring afternoons.
