In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Warde by Kajal is a dense, herbal oriental-floral fragrance designed for cold autumn and winter nights. The scent opens with a sharp, medicinal blast of black absinthe and pine, before revealing a sweet heart of rose and orange blossom. A rich foundation of balsam fir and dark agarwood anchors the composition on skin.

Reviews →

Alya by Nabeel is a rich oriental floral fragrance that wraps white florals in warm spices and deep woodiness. Rose, jasmine, and vanilla lead the scent, making it an excellent choice for cold winter evenings when you want a fragrance that hugs the skin and lingers for hours.
