In a nutshell
Description & review snapshotNabeel 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 Vanilla Oud reinterprets sweet woodiness by pairing saffron and apple with a base of vanilla and agarwood. It trades traditional animalic punch for a smooth, dessert-like warmth that feels right on cold autumn evenings. This unisex bottle works best when you want a rich, sweet cloud that hangs around all night.
