Naseem Allyl

Which Should You Buy?
Black Gold is a divisive one. You'll either get an incredibly luxurious, clean, and masculine lavender-leather dream, or a headache-inducing floral soap that reminds you of your nan. Definitely try before you buy, as personal chemistry truly dictates the experience.
A smoky violet bomb with some serious heft. Naseem Allyl is a linear but potent scent for those who like their fragrances bold and a touch challenging, settling into a familiar clean musk after a harsh opening.
