Nabati

Nabati by Astrophil & Stella is a bold, complex leather fragrance with a surprising aquatic pulse and powdery depth. It opens with a sharp, industrial-like leather that feels almost unworn—like fresh car upholstery or a pair of well-tanned boots settling on the skin. This is rapidly softened by a subtle vanilla and amber warmth, blended with sea salt and a faintly sweet undertone from ambrette and cardamom. As it dries, a soft powdery floral emerges—iris and moroccan rose giving a delicate, almost powdered finish. The scent evolves in layers, shifting from aggressive leather into a rich, warm, and slightly sweet signature that lingers for hours, even on cooler days. Its longevity is exceptional—lasting up to 12 hours or more on most skin types. Sillage is strong, especially in the first few minutes, but it settles into a moderate to moderate-to-strong presence over time. This is not a subtle scent; it commands attention and has a distinct masculine energy, yet it’s widely regarded as unisex due to the floral and powdery balance. It’s best suited for evening wear—ideal for nights out, special occasions, or moments when you want to leave a memorable impression. The fragrance feels coherent, well-blended, and multi-dimensional, with a mix of raw animalic leather, soft amber, and dry woody notes. While some find it cloying or sharp after prolonged wear, most agree that this is a high-quality, high-performing fragrance that feels unique and tiered.
