Historic Sahara | Extrait De Parfum 100ml | by Afnan
Top notes: bergamot, cinnamon, and cardamom
Middle notes: elemi, vanilla, and sugar
Base notes: musk, almond, tonka, wood, praline, and ambroxan
Historic Sahara begins with a warm and spicy introduction. Bright bergamot provides a citrusy sparkle that quickly melts into the rich heat of cinnamon and the aromatic sweetness of cardamom. This opening is both vibrant and comforting, evoking sunlit spice markets.
In the heart, soft vanilla and sugar bring a creamy gourmand touch, smoothed by the resinous nuance of elemi. The sweetness here is balanced — indulgent but not overpowering — lending a smooth transition into the deeper notes.
The dry down is rich and textured. Musk and almond offer a soft, powdery base, while tonka and praline infuse warmth and sweetness. Wood and ambroxan create a modern, clean finish that lingers gracefully. Historic Sahara is a warm, spicy-sweet fragrance with a luxurious desert warmth, ideal for cooler weather or evening wear.
