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 →

Vertus Narcos'is is a heavy fruit-and-smoke signature that pairs tart rhubarb with pulpy tropical mango. This unisex fragrance stands out in warm weather, offering a bold choice for enthusiasts who want to skip clean designer scents in favor of a sweet, weed-like green complexity.
