Irth Nabeel 2024 Eau de Parfum

In some reel, the scent was described as a “banger.” When I then saw the fragrance pyramid on Parfumo, I was curious and hesitant at the same time. One of everything, please. Nevertheless, I simply ordered it as a blind buy. On the test strip, then the surprise, as expected spicy oriental, but also fresh.
The apple and bergamot come through here, but also cumin, pepper, and cardamom.
On the skin, the spicy notes remain, and dried fruits, incense, and oud are added. After a few minutes, the fragrance develops a pleasant creamy sillage, and I can perceive the musk, sandalwood, and a hint of coconut and vanilla.
Despite the many fragrance notes, it never feels overloaded but rather harmonious.
A few years ago, I was on vacation in Oman, and at that time, I didn’t have much to do with perfume. However, this scent gives me absolute vacation flashbacks. We were in Salalah at a small market that wound through the narrow alleys. There was incense, leather goods, spices, and dried fruits everywhere. I get exactly that indescribable vibe when I spray Irth. For me, one of the best blind buys in a long time. Still, it’s not a scent for beginners and far from a safe blind buy; however, anyone who enjoys spicy oriental oud fragrances will surely have fun here.
Personally, I don’t find the scent and sillage too strong, but I have heard a few times that it projects quite strongly, and people can smell me several meters away.

I originally come from the steppes of Central Asia, where the temperature often reaches 50° C in the shade. This heat catapults a mixture of fragrance notes into the air that is unmatched. There are leather scents from the saddles of horses, the smell of dried fruits lying on the ground, rose fragrance from the garden, but also the scent of resin in the air. This mixture is very unique and I have only experienced it at such high temperatures. And I also perceive this blend in the fragrances by Nabeel. The first fragrance I acquired was Irth. It was like a portal to my childhood. The fragrance notes are very well combined, and you discover something new over several hours. I now have 5 perfumes from the collection, and each one is very unique with incredible sillage and longevity.

Irth by Nabeel is one of those fragrances that not only please but make a real statement.

From the very first spray, you can feel that a composition has been created here that combines depth, tradition, and modern elegance. The opening is powerful and dense, characterized by a warm, resinous sweetness, yet Irth never feels too heavy or overwhelming.

In terms of performance, Irth clearly belongs to the more powerful fragrances. The projection is strong and present in the first hours without becoming intrusive. After that, the scent shifts closer to the skin but remains perceptibly long - an ideal companion for long days or special evenings.

The character of Irth can be described as oriental, balsamic, and noble. It fits perfectly into the cooler months or moments.

It is a fragrance for all who love warm oud, amber, and oriental sophistication, but also value harmony and wearability.

Irth from the house of Nabeel didn't impress me at all at first. Unfortunately, my initial tests were not satisfactory in my opinion. I perceived too much rose, a subtly feminine fruity sweetness, as well as some oud and a few spices.

However, it has improved significantly since then. Sometimes, the fragrance world can be quite crazy.
I still perceive the rose well, but it no longer feels isolated. It is present, but not overpowering.
At the very beginning, I even get a very, very slight freshness around my nose. The combination of bergamot, apple, and a bit of orange probably contributes to this pleasant start. Along with that, we also have the rose involved, which gives the fragrance that certain floral-oriental vibe.
Furthermore, I find that the dried fruits are recognizable, as well as an overall oriental spice.

Over time, especially towards the end of the fragrance's development, it becomes darker. It takes on smoky notes, becomes woodier, and
slightly earthy.

In conclusion, Irth is a great fragrance. Irth essentially brings you the oriental southeastern part of the world onto your skin.

Moreover, this fragrance is affordable, and for what Irth offers you, that is more than justified.
Long-lasting, the sillage is perfectly fine, and the DNA is super and quite authentic regarding the oriental vibe.
