Naema Afnan — a fragrance that speaks for itself. A unisex fragrance from the east family. From the Naema collection; released as oil-based perfume.
The sillage is very delicate — an intimate cloud that stays close to the skin. A couple of sprays will carry you through the whole day — longevity is firmly high. The home of this fragrance is the United Arab Emirates. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
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 exists only for you—no one around you will notice it
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A rich oil-based perfume composition with a soft opening, high durability, and an intimate 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 note pyramid of Naema unfolds as a cohesive olfactory arc, where layers reveal themselves without rush and without gaps. The creative approach of Afnan comes through in details that define the fragrance identity. No excess details, only what works, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Oil-based perfume keeps a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
In the first seconds you meet sparkling citrus top notes: Bergamot, Green Mandarin and Pink pepper. Exactly these 3 notes set a burst of citrus freshness that is impossible to miss.
At the core of development you detect Caraway, Nutmeg and Saffron holding a cinnamon-nutmeg direction.
The internal accord map is driven by these accords: Citrus, Fruit, Wood and Spicy forming a compact and readable structure. The stylistic positioning is unisex, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived. In longevity terms High suggests confident staying power.
From the group perspective the structure relies on Citrus, Spicy, Fruit and Wood. It also reaches into Gourmet.
In summary Naema holds a coherent structure — the first stage creates momentum, the middle layer carries the identity, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the scent structures best understood on skin.
