In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Nasaem by Nabeel delivers a rich, vintage-leaning blend of dark plum, aldehydes, and medicinal saffron. It settles into a heavy base of real-feeling oud and clean white musk. This unisex blend suits cold winter evenings when you want a dry, incense-like trail that holds up against freezing temperatures.

Reviews →

Wahaj by Nabeel is a dense floral fruity perfume centered on a rich plum and saffron opening. As the scent settles, a heart of rose and geranium merges with a warm cedar and patchouli base. It offers an opulent profile suited for cool autumn evenings and formal winter gatherings.
