Gleam Perfume Afa is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Luca Gritti. Afa opens with Burnt Sugar, settles into a heart of Honeysuckle, and dries down to a base of Night-Blooming Jasmine and Musk. Gleam Perfume's Afa carries an Acquired verdict, a white floral-led wear.

This one's a proper divisive scent - people either love its bizarre, synthetic kick or absolutely hate that it smells like "ass." Definitely not a safe blind buy, so sample it before you commit to this unique, slightly freaky floral.

Its bold, polarising nature and strong synthetic-floral accords make it unsuitable for professional settings, earning it a low office score. However, its unique and intriguing character makes it a standout choice for dates where you want to leave an impression, and it could work casually for those who embrace its quirky vibe.

About

Imagine a sweet, almost sickly burnt sugar opening, quickly followed by a disconcerting synthetic accord that mimics plastic or latex, blended with the heady, indolic sweetness of honeysuckle. As it settles, night-blooming jasmine emerges, wrapped in a musky, slightly animalic embrace, creating a peculiar and unforgettable white floral experience.
