Nabeel

Nabeel is one of the oldest perfume houses of the United Arab Emirates, founded in the late 1960s by Asghar Adam Ali. The selection gathered here covers its two trades: four 100 ml eaux de parfum to spray, and two 60 g bakhoors to burn.

The four eaux de parfum

• Irth 100 ml — oud, woods and spices, the most traditional composition of the selection. Marked trail, long hold.
• Fulad 100 ml — masculine, leather and woods, with a fresher top that softens the start.
• Acqua Di Nabeel 100 ml — the lightest: aromatic and fresh, wearable in summer and on a working day.
• Bashiq 100 ml — amber and musky, unisex, between the two previous registers.

Bakhoor: how to use it

Bakhour Oud Black and Bakhoor Oudh Nasaem are soaked chips to place on a glowing charcoal in an incense burner. One or two pieces are enough for a room: the smoke spreads for a few minutes, then the smell stays in fabrics for hours. Do it on a heat-resistant surface, with a window ajar, and never leave the charcoal unattended.

A real house, priced accordingly

Nabeel also makes its own perfume oils and has worked oud for more than fifty years. Prices sit above the average of Dubai perfumes sold online, which shows in the concentration of the juices. Sold by IBN AL QAYYIM, authorised retailer, shipped from our European warehouses; shipping within the EU is free from €49.
