Afnan Rare Carbon Eau De Parfum Spray for Men, 3.4 Fl. Oz

Afnan Rare Carbon is a bold, captivating fragrance that punches way above its price point with its intense leather core wrapped in smoky incense and spicy cardamom. While many call it a dupe of Ombre Leather—and yes, the similarities are striking in that rich, velvety leather accord with a touch of jasmine and oud-like depth—it stands out on its own with superior projection, beast-mode longevity (10+ hours easily), and a slightly fruitier raspberry twist that adds modern freshness without copying the original beat-for-beat. Genuine gem for leather lovers seeking affordable luxury that's versatile for evenings or cooler days.

**Afnan Rare Reef** opens with a burst of refreshing citrus and mint—bright orange, zesty grapefruit, and a cool green touch that immediately transports you seaside. As it develops, the heart reveals a soothing blend of basil and fig, creating a smooth, slightly creamy freshness that feels both exotic and comforting. The amber base anchors the scent beautifully, giving it a warm, lasting finish that lingers throughout the day. The performance is excellent, with great longevity and a luxurious feel. Picture yourself relaxing in a breezy cabana by the beach, a mojito in hand, fresh basil in the glass, and a plate of ripe figs beside you—the perfect fragrance for those who love sophistication wrapped in freshness. Excellent versatility, all seasons. Great value for your money.

Rare Reef Men’s Fragrance Review Presentation (2/5): The box has a luxury look and feel, but unfortunately the bottle does not sit securely inside. It’s a very loose and sloppy fit, and if you’re not careful when opening, the bottle can fall right out. Because of this design flaw, I can only give the presentation box 2 out of 5 stars. Bottle & Sprayer (4/5): The bottle itself is heavy, sturdy, and well-designed. Where it truly shines, though, is the sprayer. It’s easily one of the best sprayers I’ve ever used at this price point—smooth, even, and delivers just the right amount of fragrance. Scent (4/5): The fragrance opens with a perfect blend of citron, grapefruit, orange, and mint. It’s clean, fresh, and uplifting. The middle notes are dominated by a delicious apricot and basil accord, while the citrus top notes linger for at least the first hour on my skin. The base notes are subtle to the point that I don’t really detect them, but the middle notes remain noticeable for about 4 hours, projecting in a bubble at arm’s length. Over the next 2 hours, that bubble gradually moves closer to the skin. After the 6-hour mark, it becomes more of a skin scent—but here’s the surprise: walking through a breezeway with a decent wind actually revived the scent bubble. Even more impressive, later that night after showering (with unscented soap), my wife noticed the fragrance again, saying it had popped back up with a noticeable bubble. Overall: Rare Reef is a fresh, clean, and versatile fragrance with excellent sprayer performance and solid longevity for its price. While the box presentation leaves much to be desired, the scent itself is a winner and worth adding to your collection.

smells so good. its energetic, fresh, bright up top, kind of sour but nothing tart like Versace pour homme. its one of my 40 bottles of colognes that my wife says smells good. it is really good. i sprayed it on my hand around 8:00 at night, woke up around 9:30am the next morning and could still smell it on my hand. it projects very well, last a long time, i think it will be a banger in the summer I'm going to order another bottle or two.

this is similar/a dupe of LV pacific chill but not the same as it, very zesty like a citrus peel and soupy smelling, this will work great as a casual fragrance or a gym fragrance, lasts pretty long but may need several sprays to make a head turn, good price and packaging

People, especially females tend to like this sent profile. My wife certainly likes it. It has a very fresh, clean citrus sent profile that project really well. I get around 6 to 8 hours longevity. It has a noticable strong citrus opening but dries dires down into creamy almost unexplainable sent that is really nice.

The packaging and bottle are really nice — it looks and feels high quality. The scent itself is pleasant and clean, great for everyday wear. However, it doesn’t project very strongly and the sillage is pretty light, so it doesn’t last as long as I’d like. That said, it works really well for layering with other colognes, and at this price, it’s still a solid pickup if you like softer, more subtle fragrances.

Easily lasts 8 hours or more on skin and fabric depending on sprays. Great scent and actually restored a little bit of faith in buying frags on Amazon. Usually frags seem very diluted. (No proof? I definitely recommend if you like freshies!

Perfect

Ce parfum est bluffant, sa note de fond est très addictive. Les premières secondes il ne sent pas comme Ombre leather, pas moins bon, juste différent. Puis passer 10 minutes, vient un fort mélange de cuir et de framboise que l'on retrouve dans l'Ombre Leather. Et c'est bien cette note de fond si singulière et atypique que je souhaitais retrouver dans ce parfum. Je ne suis absolument pas déçu de retrouver cette senteur rare et hypnotisante. À voir sur la durée maintenant, car celà fait à peine 2h que je le porte.

El aroma a cítricos es exquisito, es un perfume para usar diario, cualquier clima y temporada

Love the opening. Fresh and bright. Smells expensive. The projection is good. It's a compliment getter. The dry down is nice - a gentle reminder of the beautiful opening. The longevity is decent for a fresh fragrance. Bought my bottle - a safe blind buy. Bought my son a bottle: It proved to be his favourite fragrance from the Afnan sample set I got him. Going to buy a back up. Need I say more?...

Too citrusy. Dry down is good. Clone of LV pacific chill. Great buy for summer and beaches. It's a refreshing smell.
