In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Mimi' by Teatro Fragranze Uniche centers iris in a soft, clean floral composition. Fresh bergamot meets rose in the opening, leading into a light, clean neroli heart before drying down to a base of amber and vanilla. It is best suited for daytime spring wear when you want a quiet, skin-hugging floral scent.

Reviews →

Acqua di Nabeel Absolute by Nabeel is a dense oriental spicy fragrance that pairs a sharp citrus opening with warm spices. Star anise, grapefruit, and a dry incense lead into a deep heart of leather and sweet notes before settling on a heavy base of oud and vanilla. It is best suited for cold autumn evenings.
