In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Ecstasy is a dark, resinous fruity oud with blackberry, honey, rose and warm spice wrapped around a woody base. On skin it can come across more like berries, orange and dense ambered woods than a pure oud showcase. Reviews suggest strong longevity and assertive projection, but the style is polarising. It suits wearers…

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.
