In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Nyala by Jealous pairs dark plum with rich praline in a sweet, fruity opening that quickly settles into earthy patchouli and creamy ylang-ylang. Grounded by mossy oakmoss and soft musk, it creates a warm, textured aura suited for cool autumn evenings, casual dinners, and brisk outdoor walks.

Reviews →

Raunaq starts with a punchy blast of saffron and sweet plum. It settles quickly into an aromatic woody base on skin. We recommend wearing this floral musk fragrance on a breezy spring afternoon. It works best when paired with casual linen shirts. The sweet trail lingers without feeling heavy.
