Afnan Historic Doria

Mostly soft skin-like warmth, more the smell of clean skin than a scent of its own. Underneath that, creamy heady flowers like jasmine and gardenia, rich and full.

It opens on raspberry, lemon zest and orange blossom, moves through ambroxan, tuberose and jasmine, and settles on musk, woody notes and jasmine sambac.

• raspberry: tart red fruit, jammy with a slightly fuzzy edge
• orange blossom: the flower of the orange tree rather than the fruit: sweet, honeyed and a little green

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
