In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Marquise is a complex, resinous fragrance that leans heavily into sweet amber and warm spicy accords. The composition opens with a sharp burst of fig and saffron before settling into a dense, long-wearing base of tobacco, cacao, and honey. It is an adventurous choice for enthusiasts who enjoy rich, cold-weather scents…

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.
