Afnan Rare Carbon Eau De Parfum Spray for Men, 3.4 Fl. Oz

this is similar/a dupe of LV pacific chill but not the same as it, very zesty like a citrus peel and soupy smelling, this will work great as a casual fragrance or a gym fragrance, lasts pretty long but may need several sprays to make a head turn, good price and packaging

smells so good. its energetic, fresh, bright up top, kind of sour but nothing tart like Versace pour homme. its one of my 40 bottles of colognes that my wife says smells good. it is really good. i sprayed it on my hand around 8:00 at night, woke up around 9:30am the next morning and could still smell it on my hand. it projects very well, last a long time, i think it will be a banger in the summer I'm going to order another bottle or two.

Afnan Rare Carbon is one of the most consistently praised leather clones for a reason. The positioning is very clear. This sits firmly in the Tom Ford Ombré Leather lane, and the resemblance is obvious almost immediately. The opening is where you notice the biggest difference between the two. Rare Carbon starts with a bold leather and spice hit, but it’s slightly less nuanced than the Tom Ford. Ombré Leather has more complexity and smoother layering early on, while Rare Carbon feels a bit more straightforward right out of the gate. That said, it’s still very convincing. You still get that modern suede-style leather rather than something smoky or old-school. It smells clean, slightly sweet, and very wearable, which is exactly what makes the original so popular. As it develops, the gap starts to close. The mid brings in soft florals and warm amber tones, which round out the leather and make it feel more polished. This is where Rare Carbon starts feeling much closer to the Tom Ford DNA. The drydown is where Rare Carbon really earns its reputation. Once both fragrances settle, the similarity becomes striking. You get smooth leather, amber warmth, and soft musk, and at this stage the two are extremely close. In the air, the drydowns can feel almost identical, especially to anyone not doing a direct side-by-side. In terms of differences overall: - Tom Ford is more complex in the opening - Tom Ford feels slightly higher quality up close - Rare Carbon catches up significantly in the drydown Performance is strong on both. Rare Carbon holds its own here. You get excellent longevity and solid projection, very much in line with what people expect from Ombré Leather-style fragrances. This isn’t a watered-down clone. It performs. Stylistically, this is a very versatile leather. It works well for: - nights out - cooler weather - casual leather jacket settings - dressed-up casual wear - fall and winter rotation It’s one of the easier leather fragrances to wear because it stays smooth and modern rather than harsh or smoky. Overall, Rare Carbon works because it focuses on the part of Ombré Leather people actually love. It may not match the original’s complexity in the opening, but once it dries down, the resemblance is extremely strong. When you factor in the price difference and comparable performance, it becomes a very compelling alternative.

**Afnan Rare Reef** opens with a burst of refreshing citrus and mint—bright orange, zesty grapefruit, and a cool green touch that immediately transports you seaside. As it develops, the heart reveals a soothing blend of basil and fig, creating a smooth, slightly creamy freshness that feels both exotic and comforting. The amber base anchors the scent beautifully, giving it a warm, lasting finish that lingers throughout the day. The performance is excellent, with great longevity and a luxurious feel. Picture yourself relaxing in a breezy cabana by the beach, a mojito in hand, fresh basil in the glass, and a plate of ripe figs beside you—the perfect fragrance for those who love sophistication wrapped in freshness. Excellent versatility, all seasons. Great value for your money.

Very strong. Its definitely a unisex scent. Leather, woodsy but is floral also. Great price also

Smells Great. Projection and longevity around 5-6 hours. Great for a fresh fragrance!

If you're just starting a fragrance collection, or if you're looking for a fragrance that will put a smile on your face and make you feel good...look no further. This is sold as unisex, but perfectly safe for a male to wear. There's a lot going on with this fragrance and to the untrained nose, wear it for a few days and it will grow on you. This is an Extrait De Parfum so be conservative on the number of sprays you use. For the trained nose, this smells like a twist of the LV Pacific Chill. It is not a 1 for 1, but something much stronger with pretty great longevity. The longevity, strength/projection and scent profile will differ person to person due to their individual skin chemistry. Remember that spraying a fragrance on a tester strip is not the same as spraying directly on your skin and allowing it a few minutes to dry down. Let me say that...even though this is not a 1 to 1 of Pacific Chill, this is still a very uplifting and long-lasting fragrance that I would say is safe for a blind buy. Lastly, the box that the fragrance arrives in feels up-scale and the bottle is heavy and high quality for its size. You cannot go wrong if you're looking for a fragrance for mid-spring through late fall. I'm pretty certain this would also perform well in the winter months. Here's a breakdown of the note profile: Top Notes: Black Currant, Orange, Citron, Mint, Coriander, Grapefruit. Middle Notes: Apricot, Basil, Rose, Violet Leaf. Base Notes: Fig, Dates, Ambrette, Amberwood. Finally, make sure you do your homework and purchase from a verified seller/store on Amazon. An ideal "safe" store could look like: 4.5-5.0 Stars (Reviews), store name that is connected to a US-based LLC, be sure to look at the number of sales in the last 12 months and read the reviews. Best of luck to you!

Just not for me. I got absolute chill and loved it. I got this thinking it would be close but it's not. It has it's own kinda fragrance. It smelled spicy on my skin. Good bottle design and size but the smell was awful on my skin
