In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Reflection (Отражение) by Odoratika acts as a bold floral aldehyde study, built upon a crisp structure of petitgrain and mint. It pivots toward a heart of narcissus, ultimately resting on a complex, grounding base of oakmoss and styrax. This unisex creation suits those who appreciate a sharp, green, and resinous 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.
