Highness IX
Highness IX by Afnan is an unisex eau de parfum in the budget price tier. It opens with nutmeg, rose and musk, moves into orange blossom, amber and powdery notes and dries down to apple blossom, peach and pineapple. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Nutmeg Warm, woody and slightly sweet. Cosy without being gourmand.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
Heart
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Powdery Notes Soft, dusty and cosmetic. The feel of face powder more than any one flower.
Dry-down
- Apple Blossom Pale, airy spring blossom. Fresher and greener than the fruit.
- Peach Fuzzy, warm and slightly creamy. Soft rather than sharp.
- Pineapple Tangy, boozy and tropical. Loud and hard to hide.
