Afnan Highness VI is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021. Highness VI opens with Spicy Notes, Nutmeg, and Ambergris, settles into a heart of Patchouli, Lavender, and Blackcurrant, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Oakmoss. Afnan's Highness VI carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

This is a seriously divisive blue fragrance. Some rave about its unique spicy-fresh character, calling it a 'BOSS blue' with incredible performance and classy appeal. Others, however, smell absolutely nothing, finding it a waste of money despite the undeniably regal presentation.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best Occasions

Best For:

Also Works:
Casual

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature, coupled with its mature, spicy-fresh profile, make it less suitable for the office but excellent for formal events and dates. While it has fresh elements, its intensity is too much for sport and could be overpowering in very casual settings.

About

Highness VI kicks off with a bold, almost aggressive burst of spicy notes, sharpened by a touch of clean ambergris. The heart introduces a smooth, aromatic lavender intertwined with the juicy sweetness of blackcurrant, underpinned by an earthy patchouli. As it dries, a rich blend of oakmoss and musk emerges, wrapped in a warm, enveloping amber that lingers for ages. It's a blue scent, but not as you know it - spicier, deeper, and far from the typical citrus bomb.
