Rare Carbon
Rare Carbon by Afnan is a masculine-leaning eau de parfum from 2021 in the budget price tier. It opens with bergamot and lavender, moves into patchouli and black pepper and dries down to ambroxan, cashmere wood and musk. 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.
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
Heart
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Black Pepper Dry and prickly. Gives a fragrance grip and a bit of bite.
Dry-down
- Ambroxan Clean, mineral, skin-like warmth. The engine behind most modern 'beast mode' scents.
- Cashmere Wood Soft, fuzzy, slightly musky wood. Adds a blurred warmth.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
