Tamim Naseem for men

About Tamim

Listed for men, Tamim by Naseem opens with bergamot tempered by litsea and cubeb, a combination that keeps the citrus bright but grounded with pepper and herbal accents. Litsea, also known as may chang, has a lemon-like aroma with a slightly floral, herbal edge, while cubeb, a type of pepper, adds a woody, slightly camphoraceous spice. The opening reads as fresh and green, but with enough complexity to suggest the woody and sweet layers that follow.

Ylang, anise, apple, leather and artemisia shape the middle, a blend that moves from floral sweetness to herbal bitterness and soft leather. Ylang contributes a rich, tropical floral note with a creamy, slightly banana-like sweetness, while anise adds a green, liquorice-like facet. Apple brings a fruity, slightly watery freshness, and leather introduces a dry, smoky undertone. Artemisia, a bitter, aromatic herb, provides a green, slightly medicinal edge that balances the sweeter elements and keeps the heart from becoming too soft.

Caramel, musk, patchouli, cedarwood, animalic notes, pine and vetiver form the base, a layered, woody foundation with pockets of sweetness and earthy depth. Caramel adds a warm, burnt-sugar sweetness that contrasts with the dry, pencil-like character of cedarwood. Patchouli and vetiver contribute earthy, smoky facets, while pine brings a resinous, coniferous freshness. The animalic note, unspecified but likely musk-derived, adds a warm, skin-like quality that ties the composition together. Musk reinforces this softness, rounding out the sharper woods and resins.

The composition feels at home in cooler months and evening settings, where its woody warmth and subtle sweetness suit both casual and more formal occasions. Naseem offers Tamim as an Aqua in a one hundred millilitre bottle.
