Afnan Turathi Red

Mostly the general smell of flowers, without leaning sharp or sweet. Underneath that, clean and airy, the smell of just-washed clothes and open windows.

It opens on rose, musk and floral notes, moves through rose, jasmine and woodsy notes, and settles on peony, musk and apricot.

• rose: the flower itself, landing anywhere between jammy and fresh green depending on the variety used
• musk: soft, warm and skin-like. More the impression of clean skin than a smell of its own

It lasts well and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

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