In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Antar by Nabeel delivers a striking clash of crisp green apple and dark leather. It starts with an intense burst of fresh fruits and black pepper before settling into a dry, mossy woods base. This scent is built for cool autumn evenings when you want something rugged yet clean.

Reviews →

Oud Cafu by Nabeel is a bold, sweet woody scent that centers on a bright clash of pineapple and citrus with a deep, resinous agarwood base. It fits colder days when you want a rich warmth that cuts through the chill.
