Honey and tobacco, cooled by lavender
Nusuk Ateeq is a parfum that FragranceGems places between fresh and oriental. Honey, cinnamon, amber, grapefruit and lime open it, tobacco, lavender and jasmine form the heart, and tonka bean, cedarwood, vanilla orchid, coumarin and musk close it. It carries a lot of notes, so see how they settle on you before anything else.

The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
The opening is warm and sparkling at once: honey and cinnamon on one side, grapefruit and lime on the other, with amber behind them. FragranceGems says honey and cinnamon give it a luxurious, inviting character. Smell it straight away and again after a few minutes.
The heart is soft, sweet tobacco with lavender and jasmine. FragranceGems notes that the tobacco is balanced by the clean freshness of lavender. For some wearers tobacco is the point and for others the problem, so this is the stage to watch closely.
A long list closes the perfume: tonka bean, cedarwood, vanilla orchid, coumarin and musk. FragranceGems calls this base rich, creamy and warm. Check it later in the day and see if it feels creamy and smooth, or too dense for your taste.
Testing it
Because of the number of notes, give the sample more than one trial. Try it on a cooler day for the honey and tobacco, and on a warmer evening to see how far the lavender and citrus keep it fresh. Apply once to the wrist and note the three stages in your phone.
For men who want a perfume with presence and a fresh-oriental balance, for evenings, special occasions and daily wear across several seasons. FragranceGems tags it for men and strong in character. If you want tobacco without a dusty feel, the lavender may be the detail you need.
A perfume with this many notes is hard to judge from a list, and tobacco and honey divide opinion. The vial is filled by FragranceGems from the original Nusuk bottle and bears our label. The honey-and-tobacco vial is no official brand sample, and Nusuk has no hand in the filling. Try it on several days before deciding on a full bottle.
What you receive
We start with a full bottle of the perfume. Nothing is diluted, mixed or added.
Filled by hand into a clean glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and closed straight after filling.

Honey, cinnamon, vanilla orchid, tonka bean and coumarin all lean sweet, but FragranceGems stresses the balance with lavender and citrus. A sample shows where the line falls for you.
FragranceGems calls it soft and sweet, brought into balance by clean lavender. It sits in the heart between a honeyed opening and a creamy base.
FragranceGems lists all four seasons, helped by grapefruit, lime and lavender. A decant is an easy way to test it in the heat before you choose.
The brand
Nusuk is presented on the Riiffs site as a second label of the same house, and FragranceGems describes it as a refined Arabian perfume brand with elegant compositions, from rich oud to delicate florals. Among its perfumes in FragranceGems' sample list are Gladius and Sama, both Eau de Parfum. The brand's own site says little yet, so the samples carry the introduction: wear one, then the other, and let the skin do the talking.

Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
