In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Sabooha by Nabeel is a dense floral blend that opens with bright yellow blooms and dries down into a heavy sandalwood base. Designed for women who appreciate traditional Arabian florality, it works best in cooler weather and formal evening settings where its thick accords can slowly unfurl.

Reviews →

Alya by Nabeel is a rich oriental floral fragrance that wraps white florals in warm spices and deep woodiness. Rose, jasmine, and vanilla lead the scent, making it an excellent choice for cold winter evenings when you want a fragrance that hugs the skin and lingers for hours.
