Afnan Tribute Blue is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Imran Fazlani. Tribute Blue opens with Bergamot, Nutmeg, and Allspice, settles into a heart of Cashmere Wood and Amber, and dries down to a base of White Woods, Musk, Vetiver, and Incense. Afnan's Tribute Blue carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

Divisive, masculine, and a powerhouse performer, Tribute Blue isn't a crowd-pleaser for everyone but those who get it, REALLY get it. Skip the blind buy if you're not into potent, old-school vibes.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

About

Afnan Tribute Blue opens with a sharp, spiky blast of bergamot and a distinctive peppery nutmeg, immediately setting a bold, dry woody tone. As it settles, the heart reveals warm cashmere wood intertwined with amber, adding a smooth, enveloping depth. The long-lasting drydown brings forward an earthy vetiver, smoky incense, and clean musk, creating a sophisticated and robust scent that lingers for ages.
