In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Bergamot and grapefruit open Week-End A Cassis with a tart, sunny snap that cools quickly into fresh jasmine and rose petals. As the initial citrus sizzle settles, warm amber and musk ground the florals for warm spring mornings and casual weekend wear. It stays clean, light, and understated on skin during mild weather.

Reviews →

Shamsi by Nabeel delivers a bright burst of summer fruits anchored by a warm base. It opens with sweet litchi and tart black currant before settling into a powdery iris heart. The scent is designed for warm days and casual outdoor settings, offering a unisex profile that feels breezy yet substantial.
