Familiar lemon cake DNA with gourmand notes
Continuing with the Bouquet series from the brand Afnan based in Dubai. I had a sample set from the series and I had already tried Cherry Bouquet before. Officially, it is a women's line, but some releases from the series are also reportedly unisex. Naturally, the fragrances lean more feminine, and all 5 have their own theme that gives a taste of what to expect. With the name Delicious, you get a gourmand scent that, as expected, offers a wonderful fluffy lemon-vanilla combination. You can always rely on Afnan when you want high quality that doesn't cost the earth. In terms of quality, this brand can definitely hold its own against many designer brands, and many crowd-pleasers with cool DNA are in the range. This scent seems to be inspired by "Devotion (Eau de Parfum) | Dolce & Gabbana," and even Casamorati - Lira Eau de Parfum fans might find a slightly cheaper alternative here. Price-wise, you get the standard size of 80ml for around 30€. The scent smells delicious and is hard not to like. It shines best in the autumn-winter season but also works well in milder, not-so-cold temperatures.
The bottle and packaging are of good quality. The brown color fits well with this scent DNA, highlighted with gold on top. The cover of the packaging is also very well done and provides a great preview of the fragrance.
Lemon cake fans will be fully satisfied here. Personally, I find the mix of lemon and gourmand notes incredibly good as these are great contrasts and also a wonderful counterbalance that prevents the scent from feeling too heavy. In this Delicious Bouquet, it has been well executed, resulting in a fantastic blend of citrus and gourmand. Honey also rounds off this fragrance nicely, and vanilla provides fluffy-gourmand notes throughout. Additionally, a sugary-sweet note is present, while orange blossom and rum are less pronounced. Towards the end, the temporary citrus notes naturally fade away, and the scent becomes significantly more gourmand. The base is soft with fluffy musk, gourmand with plenty of caramel. Vanilla and creamy tonka notes also come through. Overall, a great base that provides a wonderful finish for the lemon cake DNA. Of course, one should be able to handle gourmand-sweet notes here. The DNA is very modern and fits well into today's time. The scent is wearable for cozy hours during the day, although it is not entirely unwearable in everyday life.
Performance is quite good, and the longevity impresses with 8-10 hours. The sillage is quite present throughout, and the base is also well perceivable thanks to the heavy notes.
Overall, a great alternative for fans leaning towards D&G Devotion. Already a crowd-pleaser that conveys beautiful cozy vibes. Thumbs up for this relatively inexpensive fragrance from the house of Afnan.
