How does Afnan Historic Olmeda smell?
Historic Olmeda opens with pink pepper, cardamom, juniper and grapefruit. Pink pepper is sparkling and dry, cardamom aromatic and warm, juniper resinous and green, and grapefruit tart and bitter. It is a crisp, spiced start with plenty of snap, and it feels sharp before it softens.
Calabrian bergamot, cedarwood, nutmeg and jasmine make up the heart: bright peel, dry wood, a sweet nutty spice and a gentle floral note. Patchouli, apple, ambergris and musk then settle underneath, earthy, juicy, salty and soft in turn. The scent moves from sharp and spicy to a smooth, woody musk with a hint of fruit.
Who is Afnan Historic Olmeda for?
Listed as unisex. Going by the notes alone, it suits someone who likes a crisp, spiced and woody scent with a touch of fruit in the base. The citrus and pepper keep it lively, while patchouli and musk add a calm, earthy depth.
