In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Nabeel by Nabeel delivers a dry, resinous burst of rose and marigold that anchors a traditional Arabic woody profile. This unisex spray feels heavy and soapy, making it ideal for crisp autumn evenings when you want a rich bubble of saffron and cedar wood to wrap around a warm wool coat.

Reviews →

Pandora #16 opens with a sharp flash of saffron, bittersweet marigold, and sweet jasmine. The fragrance settles into a heart of white flowers dusted with crystalline sugar before resolving into a warm base of moss, cashmere, and dry woody notes. It delivers a sweet, airy floral warmth suited for cool autumn evenings.
