In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Greed by Proad is an oriental spicy fragrance composed by perfumer Calice Becker. It opens with an aromatic punch of crisp juniper berry, earthy angelica, and dry nutmeg, setting a brisk, herbal tone. As the initial sharpness settles, the scent reveals a rich core of roasted coffee, warm cinnamon, and dark rum balance…

Reviews →

Al Bashiq by Nabeel delivers a heavy dose of leather, dark resins, and bitter almond. It is a bold, cold weather scent that cuts through freezing air, pairing best with heavy wool coats or leather jackets during winter nights.
