Reviews →

Nabeel's Crown Of Emirates blends thick leather with sweet litchi and a heavy dose of rose water. It is a dense, Middle Eastern style fragrance that works best in cold weather or formal evening settings. The drydown reveals a soft oud and sandalwood base that lingers on the skin for hours.
