In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Bonbons A La Violette opens like candied violet dusted with citrus, then settles into a sweeter woody base with moss, amber, and vanilla underneath. It reads more like sugared violet over polished woods than a true candy scent, so it suits shoppers who enjoy powdery florals with a modern, slightly sharp edge.

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.
