Historic Sahara

Historic Sahara by Afnan is an unisex eau de parfum in the budget price tier. It opens with bergamot, cinnamon and cardamom, moves into elemi, vanilla and sugar and dries down to musk, almond, tonka bean, praline and ambroxan. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.

Notes, explained

Opening

Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.

Heart

Elemi Peppery resin with a lemon-pine lift. Bright and dry.
Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
Sugar Plain sweetness. Usually there to round the edges off something else.

Dry-down

Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
Almond Marzipan and cherry-stone. Sweet with a bitter undertone.
Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
Praline Caramelised nuts. Sweet, toasty and very moreish.
Ambroxan Clean, mineral, skin-like warmth. The engine behind most modern 'beast mode' scents.
