In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

LabHouse Viridescent opens with a sharp burst of grapefruit and black pepper before shifting into a woodsy heart of cedarwood and geranium. Soil-rich oakmoss, earthy vetiver, and warm amber settle into a salty, green base. It suits cool spring mornings and overcast autumn days when you want a grounded, aromatic aura.

Reviews →

Acqua di Nabeel Absolute by Nabeel is a dense oriental spicy fragrance that pairs a sharp citrus opening with warm spices. Star anise, grapefruit, and a dry incense lead into a deep heart of leather and sweet notes before settling on a heavy base of oud and vanilla. It is best suited for cold autumn evenings.
