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.
