Afnan Rare Carbon EDP 100ML

Afnan Rare Carbon EDP 100ML is an EDP from Afnan, built around a leather and woody character. It suits men and reads best in the evening, and works year-round.

The first spray leads with leather, violet leaf, nutmeg, cinnamon. That opening is what you notice on the back of your hand in the first fifteen minutes. Underneath, violet, agarwood (oud), rose, cedar form the body of the scent and hold for roughly two hours — the character most people will identify it by. Finally it settles into vetiver, sandalwood, amber, the part responsible for how long the fragrance reads on you.

On our occasion map it scores highest for Date Night, Wedding, Festive and Formal Event. If you are buying it as your first bottle from Afnan, that is the shortlist of places it will not feel out of step.
