In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Unas by Nilafar du Nil opens with a sharp cinnamon and bergamot pairing that quickly yields to a heart of roasted pumpkin and tobacco. This unisex scent settles into a persistent, resinous amber and suede base. It is a bold, cool-weather choice for those who want their fragrance to hold up through an entire autumn day…

Reviews →

Maghateer by Nabeel delivers a potent blend of dark leather, sweet caramel, and warm spices on a woody backbone. This unisex fragrance caters to fans of dense Middle Eastern compositions. It performs exceptionally well in freezing winter conditions and is best suited for formal evening wear.
