The Brand
Nabeel
Nabeel has 133 perfumes indexed on Scendira, one of the longest-running houses in our catalogue with launches spanning 1995 to 2025.

On the note level, rose (113) and musk (112) are the most common notes across the catalogue. Prices run $16 to $360, median $34, mostly accessible with a few premium outliers. The catalogue is strongly unisex (103 of 132 mapped), with feminine (19) and masculine (10) making up the rest. By community mentions, Hayati is the most-discussed Nabeel perfume, followed by Al Bashiq, Irth, and Empress. With three decades of releases and a woody-dominant catalogue, Nabeel is known as a foundational, classic-leaning Gulf house rather than a trend-chasing newer brand.
