Historic Sahara

by Imran Fazlani

Afnan Historic Sahara is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Imran Fazlani. Historic Sahara opens with Cardamom, Cinnamon, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Sugar Cane, Elemi, and Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Almond, Praline, Musk, and Ambroxan. Afnan's Historic Sahara carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This is a seriously impressive take on a familiar sweet-spicy DNA. Afnan tweaked it just enough to stand out, creating a less cloying, more balanced blend that’s garnered a huge following. Prepare for compliments - this one's a winner, especially if you want a powerhouse with a sophisticated edge.

About

Historic Sahara opens with a burst of warm, aromatic cardamom and spicy cinnamon, brightened by a hint of bergamot. As it settles, a sweet, almost edible heart emerges with creamy vanilla and sugary nuances, balanced by the resinous elemi. The dry down is a comforting embrace of nutty almond and praline, grounded by musky ambroxan and creamy tonka bean, leaving a trail of sophisticated sweetness.
