In a nutshell
Description & review snapshotDefne Extrait de Parfum by Maiora Parfum delivers a bold opening of red fruits and saffron. This unisex scent settles into a warm heart of iris and rose before resting on a base of oud, vanilla, and birch. It is a striking choice for cooler evenings when you want a fragrance that projects confidence and stays on skin …
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.
