Perfume information

Description of the composition

The composition of His Highness Black is shaped as a continuous scent journey, where notes flow without rush and without gaps. The style of Afnan is evident in the way notes appear and fade. No excess details, only what works, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de parfum sets a balanced rhythm of unfolding.

At olfactory-group level the profile is anchored in Spicy, Floral, Balsamic and Gourmet. The palette also extends to Wood, Leather and Musk.

From the first breath you meet cardamom-peppery opening notes: Caraway, Cardamom, Nutmeg and Pink pepper.

When the opening settles you meet Geranium and Myrrh keeping a harmonious floral direction.

The accord profile is driven by these accords: Balsamic, Gourmet, Floral and Musc forming a compact and readable structure. Secondary accord layers such as Wood, Leather and Spicy expand the olfactory volume in the background. The gender direction is masculine, which clarifies the composition character. In wear duration High suggests confident staying power.

Taken together His Highness Black reads as a cohesive composition — the start forms character, the middle layer carries the identity, and the base secures the trail. This is the type of composition best judged in wear.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
High (5 to 12 hours)

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

The fragrance is really complex. My husband doesn't like such things, he prefers something simpler. But I really liked it - it's very beautiful, multifaceted, and interesting. Green spices from Terek blend perfectly with spicy resins and bitter almond, all against a backdrop of sweet smoky wood upholstered in leather
