In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Sumu Man by Nabeel is a dry woody perfume that balances herbal freshness with deep resins. The scent opens with a sharp burst of cypress and rosemary, transitioning into a warm heart of copal. It is an excellent option for cool autumn days when you need a clean, aromatic scent trail.

Reviews →

Nasaem by Nabeel delivers a rich, vintage-leaning blend of dark plum, aldehydes, and medicinal saffron. It settles into a heavy base of real-feeling oud and clean white musk. This unisex blend suits cold winter evenings when you want a dry, incense-like trail that holds up against freezing temperatures.
