How does Afnan Portrait Abstract smell?
Vetiver, rhubarb and incense give Afnan Portrait Abstract an unexpected start. Vetiver is grassy and earthy, rhubarb is tart, green and a little sour, and incense adds a dry, resinous smoke. The three feel crisp and slightly austere, with a sharp fruity edge that sits oddly well against the smoke.
Rose and tonka bean form the heart, a soft, gently sweet floral note next to a creamy, round sweetness. Sandalwood, leather, cedarwood and amber then settle underneath, giving smooth, creamy wood, a supple, dry hide note, sharper cedar and warm resin. It moves from tart and smoky to soft and woody.
Who is Afnan Portrait Abstract for?
Listed as unisex. Going by the notes alone, it suits someone who likes a dry, smoky and leathery scent with a gentle rose and tonka softness in the middle. The rhubarb keeps the start tart, so it fits those who prefer an offbeat opening to a sweet one.
