About This Fragrance
Afnan Rare Reef is the most complex and intriguing fragrance in the Rare collection — a multi-layered Extrait de Parfum that opens with one of the most expansive note pyramids in the Afnan range. Blackcurrant, citron, mint, orange, grapefruit, and coriander combine into a genuinely vibrant, multi-dimensional citrus-fruity-herbal opening that is immediately fresh and energising.
The heart of apricot, violet leaf, rose, and basil adds warmth, florality, and herbal complexity before the base of amberwood, fig, ambrette, and dates provides the truly distinctive dry-down. Fig and dates add a warm, slightly sweet-exotic quality that is unusual in modern perfumery and gives Rare Reef its unforgettable signature. Amberwood provides the clean, lasting woody warmth; ambrette adds a skin-close musky dimension. At Extrait de Parfum concentration with 36 units in stock, Rare Reef is one of Afnan's most accessible and compelling Extraits.
