In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Loyal Agar opens with a clean lavender and bergamot lift, then settles into a sweet amber core with patchouli underneath. The dry-down is the main draw, vanilla, tobacco and tonka giving it a warm, dense, slightly powdery finish. It reads richer than fresh, with a stronger masculine lean despite being sold as unisex. …

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.
