African Mix Estiara — a fragrance that speaks for itself. A masculine fragrance from the fern, wood, and aromatic families. Concentration — eau de parfum: exactly what it needs to be.
Country of origin — the United Arab Emirates, and that already says something about the quality. African Mix Estiara unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The scent of African Mix unfolds as a continuous scent journey, where accents shift with precision and warmth. The signature of Estiara is clear in details that define the fragrance identity. Nothing here feels random, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de parfum sets a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
The internal accord map rests on these accords: Aromatic, Citrus, Gourmet and Musc forming a compact and readable structure. Additional accords such as Wood, Spicy and Vegetable expand the olfactory volume in the background. The gender direction is masculine, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
At the opening of the pyramid you detect sparkling citrus first notes: Bergamot, Mandarin and Pink pepper.
At the core of development you detect Lavender, Sage and Sweet pepper keeping a aromatic green direction.
At olfactory-group level the structure relies on Citrus, Spicy, Green and Aromatic. The framework further includes Fruit, Musk, Wood and Gourmet. From a family perspective the scent maps to Aromatic, Fern and Wood.
Taken together African Mix reads as a cohesive composition — the first stage creates momentum, the heart develops the core line, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the scent structures best judged on skin.
