In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Chaos by Vertus pairs a sharp splash of lemon and salty marine notes with a heavy, dry base of oakmoss and patchouli. It is a powerful unisex fragrance built for those who want a fresh scent that does not fade in summer heat. The scent wears like a salty ocean breeze blowing over damp, woody shores.

Reviews →

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.
