Afnan Modest Deux is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019. Modest Deux opens with Dark Chocolate, Cherry, Raspberry, and Strawberry, settles into a heart of Spicy Notes and Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Musk, Patchouli, and Gardenia. Afnan's Modest Deux carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Afenan's Modest Deux is a gourmand crowd-pleaser that delivers a potent burst of sweet, dark fruit and chocolate. It's affordable, intoxicating, and often described as a 'beast mode' performer. Just remember, Middle Eastern scents often need to macerate to truly shine - give this one time to develop its full, seductive power.

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.

Its potent projection and long-lasting, heavy gourmand character make it less suitable for office or sports. This scent truly shines for date nights and formal evenings where its seductive, rich aroma can make a statement without being overwhelming.

About

Opening with a luscious, jammy blend of strawberry, raspberry, and cherry, this scent immediately evokes a decadent dessert. Dark chocolate notes entwine with the fruit, creating a rich, edible aroma that's both comforting and alluring. As it settles, warm spices and creamy vanilla emerge, cushioned by a soft, musky patchouli base, providing depth and a sensual, slightly powdery finish. It's a sweet, dark fruitchouli perfected for impact.
