Highness X Afnan is officially considered a masculine fragrance, rooted in the spicy and wood families. One of the scents from the Highness collection. In eau de parfum — and that's all it takes to fall in love.
Brand country — the United Arab Emirates: a place that truly knows its way around a great scent. Highness X Afnan unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
The scent is clearly present near you, but it does not fill the entire space
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The scent of Highness X unfolds as a layered story, where accents shift with precision and warmth. The signature of Afnan is recognizable in details that define the fragrance identity. No excess details, only what works, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de parfum emphasizes the right density and pace of development.
As soon as the fragrance opens you meet sparkling citrus first notes: Bergamot, Blackcurrant and Tonka bean. These 3 notes set sunny vitality that is impossible to miss.
In the middle phase you meet Earthy Notes, Patchouli and Vetiver holding a spicy-woody direction. In the base the line is anchored through Guaiac wood, Spices and musk, shaping a deep woody trail.
The profile is masculine, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.
From the group perspective the structure relies on Citrus, Fruit, Spicy and Earthy / Mossy. The palette also extends to Wood and Musk. From a family perspective the composition sits in Spicy and Wood.
Overall Highness X reads as a cohesive composition — the opening sets direction, the central phase adds depth, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. This is the type of composition best experienced in wear.
