In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Upstream by Kilesa is a bright citrus aromatic fragrance with a green, mossy backbone. Grapefruit, bergamot, lemon and lime give it a brisk opening, then tarragon, sage, ozone and soft florals add a clean herbal lift.

Reviews →

Raboob by Nabeel is a dense, warming oriental blend that centers on the classic combination of rose and agarwood. Cardamom and saffron add dry, spicy warmth, while leather and patchouli anchor the base. It is a bold choice for chilly autumn evenings, suited for those who appreciate heavy Middle Eastern profiles.
