Nashwa Smoke

Starts off incredibly leather forward which is what I was hoping would stay for the whole duration of the scent but took a turn into a super masculine sweet woodsy scent. It’s very good for paying less than 40 dollars for! Stop by my TikTok for some fragrance content: nerolicannoli

Nashwa Smoke is the real deal folks. This bad azz 'elixir of life' contains rock star resins, aged leather notes, dusty caramelized amber, velvety oud with some pink pepper corn. Nashwa Smoke is not your typical leather fragrance. It is dry...it is smoky..it is woody..it is uplifting. Imagine pouring all these fragrance notes with some added pachouli and citrus on a leather coat and let it sit in the hot sun for a month. This is what you get with Nashwa Oud. A nice dry leather with a sweet smoky nuance. As the fragrance develops, a beautiful middle eastern sweet amber appears in between the smoke, wood, and leather. This middle eastern amber Arabiyat Prestige uses is different. It is earthy and warm with a chewy texture. It mixes well with the bergamot that gives Nasha smoke a strategic flirting sweetness and never offending. I’m telling you right now. You don’t know amber until you smell this type. It is uplifting as well as aromatic. As for the oud, it has a dry blonde velvet texture that just melts into the amber and pushes this fragrance over the top. The pink peppercorn is the most genius move in perfume history. It just sits atop the leather giving this a definitive scent. In fact, it is responsible for the powerful projection lasting 4-5 hours with an incredible 8+ hours performance on skin, next day on clothes. As, this fragrance develops and dries down the more beautiful it gets. Not bad for some dry leather. Remember, Nashwa Smoke starts out majestic and powerful and ends with gothic intensity. No fruits, chocolate, roses, vanillas or saffron needed. Just basic powerful dry-woody-frankincense-amber-notes that will obliterate your favorite leather fragrance. If you want all the smoke, Nasha brings and then some with 8 fragrances notes blended into perfection. The quality and craftsmanship is unrivaled once you smell this. I give this a 10 rating. If you’re seeking a different approach to leather Arabiyat captures the very essence of a what a sophisticated and arid fragrance is supposed to smell like. This is definitely niche-alien level leather. When you wear Arabiyat Prestige you’re not wearing perfume...you’re wearing ART!
