In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Numero 5 by Posh Extrait kicks off with a crackle of crushed black pepper and warm clove buds cutting through a brisk splash of bergamot. The bright citrus flash burns off quickly. Within twenty minutes, the composition reveals a rich heart of resinous labdanum and smoldering incense that coats the skin in dark warmth…

Nabeel Irth arrives as a dense, sweet-spicy scent that commands attention. Released in 2023, it merges a heavy dose of dried fruits, strawberry, and cinnamon with a dark base of leather, amber, and incense. It fits best in freezing winter weather, wrapping the wearer in a thick, warm shield of exotic spices and woods.
