Highness X

Highness X is a woody, spicy fragrance from Afnan, released in 2021 and aimed at men. Almost everyone who describes it reaches for the word woody first; about two thirds also call it spicy and sweet in a gourmand way, with musk and citrus mentioned by a minority.

The note list is given without a formal pyramid, but the shape is easy to read. Bergamot and blackcurrant supply a bright, slightly tart opening; spices add warmth as it settles; patchouli, guaiac wood and vetiver bring the earthy, smoky depth that defines it; tonka bean rounds everything with a soft, sweet, almost edible finish; musk keeps the base close to the skin.

Wear data from the community is not yet available for this one, so longevity and projection are best judged on the wrist. On character alone it suits cooler months and evenings rather than hot afternoons, and it reads as a confident, grown-up scent rather than a fresh everyday spray.
