Ateeq by Nusuk

Extrait de Parfum • Men (Unisex-leaning) • Oriental Spicy Gourmand

Product description

Ateeq is a rich and warm oriental spicy gourmand fragrance from Nusuk (2025). It opens with a bold blend of sweet honey, warm spice and fresh citrus, moves into a refined floral-aromatic heart with tobacco depth, and settles into a creamy vanilla-woody dry-down that is both indulgent and comforting. 

Inspiration / Dupe

While Nusuk does not officially market Ateeq as a clone of a designer fragrance, many fragrance communities and wearers compare its overall character and profile to Xerjoff Naxos due to similar honey-tobacco, warm spice and creamy gourmand vibes, this is a popular community observation, not a brand claim. 

Notes

Top Notes: Honey, Cinnamon, Amber, Grapefruit/Lime 

Heart Notes: Lavender, Jasmine, Tobacco 

Base Notes: Vanilla Orchid, Tonka Bean, Cedarwood, Musk, Coumarin 

What it smells like

Ateeq opens with a sweet, warm burst of honey and amber, rounded by spicy cinnamon and a fresh lift of grapefruit and lime. The heart introduces soothing lavender and rich jasmine layered over smoky, leathery tobacco, giving it aromatic depth and dimension. The dry-down settles into a creamy, gourmand blend of vanilla orchid, tonka bean, cedarwood, musk and coumarin,  producing a warm, spicy-sweet, slightly smoky finish that’s flattering, bold and long-lasting. 

Community reviews often describe this scent as rich sweet honey tobacco with warm spices and a creamy base, sometimes calling it a “sweet tobacco gourmand” that can lean slightly masculine but remains wearable by many. 

Performance

• Longevity: Long — most users report 8+ hours on skin, with clothing longevity lasting even longer.  
• Sillage: Moderate to strong — noticeable but not overwhelming when sprayed appropriately.  
• Projection: Strong on initial application, then gradually settles into a warm, inviting trail.  

Community notes also mention that due to the extrait concentration, just a couple of sprays go a long way. 

Best for

• Fall & winter wear — the warm spice and gourmand base thrive in cooler weather.  
• Evenings & nights out — seductive and memorable.  
• Date nights & special occasions — rich and confident aura.  
• Fans of sweet spicy and gourmand tobacco scents — especially those who enjoy profiles with honey, vanilla and spice.
