Afnan Shimmer: An Oriental Fairy Tale for Women

Afnan Shimmer is a true Oriental fairy tale captured in a bottle.

Created by Afnan, a perfume house born in the sunny Emirates in 2010 that quickly conquered the world, this fragrance is designed for women who are not afraid to make a statement.

Afnan Shimmer belongs to the Oriental and Floral fragrance families, immediately setting a sensual, warm, and mysterious tone.

This eau de parfum has a noticeable trail that leaves a lasting, memorable impression.

Afnan Shimmer is the perfect choice for evening outings, romantic dates, and special occasions.

The fragrance unfolds gradually, enveloping those around you in a captivating aura of spices, flowers, and noble woody-amber facets.

The Afnan brand is renowned for its ability to blend Eastern traditions with contemporary trends.

Shimmer is no exception: it embodies the image of a strong, independent woman who moves through life with grace.

It is a fragrance for those who appreciate luxury and depth while remaining light and airy.

If you love Afnan Shimmer, explore similar compositions: Narciso Rodriguez Essence Eau de Musc, Trussardi The Black Rose, and Donna Karan Black Cashmere.

These fragrances also captivate with their sensuality and pronounced trail.

Apply Afnan Shimmer to pulse points—your wrists, neck, and behind your ears—for the fragrance to unfold to its fullest.

Thanks to its long-lasting eau de parfum formula, it will accompany you throughout the day and into the evening, leaving behind a delightful trail.

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.
