What wearers say
“Gets the similarities with Canali Black Diamond in dry down. Nice leathery fragrance for cooler days. Definitely needs maceration. In my experience Afnan fragrances need extra maceration to really perform than most other popular ME fragrance houses.”
“Hallo everyone , I was reading another review he described this fragrance really good and I agree with him about its similar to Encelade -Marc-Antoine Barrois 90% but Encelade is more sharp than this Afnan Abstract , if u like anyone of them u will like the other one .”
“Its not a blind buy safe. The fragrance is masculine and its kinda different than most i’ve owned. Only if its sillage was any better, this would have been a certified beast perfume.”
