Prissana Dunhuang (敦煌) is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Prin Lomros. Prissana's Dunhuang (敦煌) carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A truly complex, captivating journey; Dunhuang is a chameleon that shifts from bright citrus and tea to dark, spiced incense. It's a challenging wear for some due to its animalic drydown, but utterly fascinating for others.

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.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its unique and somewhat unconventional profile, make it suitable for casual wear and dates where its complexity can be appreciated. While some find it too 'loud' for office or formal settings, its intriguing nature can still work in more relaxed professional environments or less stuffy formal events.

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.

Other declarable allergens

  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove
  • Eugenia Caryophyllus Leaf Oil from Clove
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Dunhuang opens with a vibrant, zesty burst of kumquat, mandarin, and tangerine, swiftly followed by the distinctive smoky aroma of Lapsang Souchong and delicate jasmine tea. As it evolves, the fragrance deepens into a rich tapestry of warm spices like cinnamon and caraway, with hints of plum and buttery osmanthus. The base settles into a complex blend of incense, earthy patchouli, and a subtle, furry civet undertone, creating a dynamic, shape-shifting scent experience.
