Afnan Modest Une is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019. Modest Une opens with Lavender, Pepper, Nutmeg, and Mint, settles into a heart of Citrus, Amber, and Eucalyptus, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Vetiver. Afnan's Modest Une carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh spicy-led wear.

This one's a proper troublemaker. Afnan's Modest Une is either a beast-mode, spot-on Sauvage dupe that lasts forever, or a barely-there skin scent that smells of dodgy cardboard. You'll either love it or furiously return it.

About

Modest Une kicks off with a sharp, peppery lavender blast, brightened by mint and nutmeg for an invigorating, spicy introduction. As it settles, a fresh rush of eucalyptus and citrus emerges, softened by a touch of amber. The dry down mellows into a woody, musky base with vetiver and cedar, giving it a clean, masculine finish.
