Reviews →

Nabati opens with a sharp burst of sea salt, cardamom, and dark rum over a heavy base of leather and oud. Christian Provenzano contrasts marine watery notes with dry cedar and smoky amber. It wears best during cold autumn nights, cutting through freezing air with aggressive projection and an earthy patchouli trail.
