Afghane
8.4Jean d'Estrées · 1979
Floral · Sweet · Spicy
Jean d'Estrées Afghane is a floral, sweet oriental for women, warmed by spice, wood and resin; it has been discontinued.
The notes read as a single whole: amber, spicy notes, floral notes and woody notes. The floral and sweet side leads, while spice and wood frame it with a dry warmth. A powdery, creamy softness runs through it, animalic and resinous tones add depth, and the chypre touch keeps it from turning sticky or heavy.
Longevity is rated good, while sillage stays moderate, so it is a scent noticed up close rather than one that fills a room. It is made for women. Most voters rate its staying power high, though not its projection. Stendhal Symbiose and Ajmal Elixir Suave have a close profile.
