How does Afnan Violet Bouquet smell?
Afnan Violet Bouquet opens with woody notes, saffron and bergamot. The woody notes are dry and clean, saffron is warm, golden and slightly bitter, and bergamot gives a bright, zesty lift. The result is a dry, slightly spicy start with a tart edge that sets up the sweeter heart.
Caramel, amber, orange and citrus peel make the heart: caramel is sticky and buttery sweet, amber warm and resinous, orange juicy, and citrus peel bitter and oily. Ambergris and oak moss close it with a salty, skin like warmth and a damp, green, earthy depth. Overall it is a sweet amber scent with a mossy finish.
Who is Afnan Violet Bouquet for?
Listed for women. Going by the notes alone, it suits someone who likes sweet caramel and amber but wants citrus and moss to stop it turning syrupy. The saffron and woody notes give it a dry backbone, so it should appeal to those who prefer warmth with some bite.
