In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

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.

Reviews →

Kefi by Maison des Animaux Fragrances opens with a sharp burst of black currant and cardamom before settling into a warm base of candied ginger and sandalwood. This unisex perfume suits those who want an approachable spicy aroma with a cozy, sweet trail that works well in crisp autumn air.
