How does Afnan Paris Oud smell?
Paris Oud opens with orange, which is sunny and juicy, alongside wood lemon, a sharper, greener citrus with a hint of timber. Blackcurrant adds a dark, tangy fruit note, slightly sour and rich. The result is a bright, fruity start with a woody tint, rather than a heavy or smoky opening.
The heart brings wood, dry and smooth, together with ylang ylang, a creamy, heady white floral, and amber for warm resin. Powder, musk and tonka bean form the base: a soft cosmetic dust, clean skin warmth and a sweet, creamy smoothness. It ends soft, floral and gently sweet.
Who is Afnan Paris Oud for?
Listed for women. Going by the notes alone, it suits someone who likes fruit and citrus at the start and a soft, powdery, floral finish. The wood and amber add some body, so it suits those who want sweetness with a little warmth rather than a purely sugary scent.
