Composition
Afnan Rare Carbon is a men's Eau de Parfum launched in 2020. A leather-woody opening with leather, violet leaf, nutmeg and cinnamon, moving through violet, rose, oud and cedar, and resting on sandalwood, amber and vetiver. Rare and elemental: dark, smooth and precious.
Rare Carbon is pressure made diamond — leather dark at first, like coal, then violet leaf adding a green, almost metallic sharpness. The oud-rose in the heart is deep and precious, like a gem. As it dries, the sandalwood-amber-vetiver base is smooth and enduring, like a polished stone. It's a dark, refined leather-oud — for connoisseurs, for evenings, for feeling rare. The carbon here is luxury. Beginners: dark and refined — beautiful, but bold.
