Afnan Historic Doria is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Imran Fazlani. Historic Doria opens with Lemon Zest, Orange Blossom, and Raspberry, settles into a heart of Mandarin, Jasmine, Tuberose, and Ambroxan, and dries down to a base of Woody and Musk. Afnan's Historic Doria carries an Acquired verdict, a citrus-led wear.

Historic Doria is a powerful, polarising scent. You'll either love it or hate its nuclear projection of sweet, musky florals and ambroxan. Not for the faint-hearted, this one enters the room long before you do and often stays past its welcome. Blind buying is not advised.

About

Imagine a vibrant burst of syrupy raspberry and sharp lemon zest, quickly joined by an intoxicating bouquet of jasmine and tuberose. As it settles, a sweet, almost burnt sugar-like ambroxan dominates, wrapped in clean, soft musk and subtle woody undertones, creating an airy, yet dense and long-lasting trail.
