Rare Reef

Between a tangy opening of blackcurrant, lemon and mint and a sweet base of fig, dates and ambrette, Rare Reef plays on a clear gap between registers. Created in 2025 for the house Afnan by perfumer Lucas Sieuzac, it links these two poles through a tier of velvety apricot, basil, honeyed rose and violet leaf.

Composition

Tangy top

Blackcurrant opens on a sour greenness, crossed by the sulfurous nuance characteristic of the shrub's bud. Orange, lemon and grapefruit bring freshness and acidity: orange with a sweet touch, lemon with a tangy edge, grapefruit with its fruity pulp. Mint adds its menthol, coriander a spicy liveliness.

Fruity and green heart

Apricot offers a velvety texture and an almond accent, reminiscent of the fruit's pit. Basil brings an anisic freshness, rose a honeyed and waxy warmth. Violet leaf adds a green, earthy, herbaceous note with mossy accents.

Sweet and musky base

Fig combines sweetness and greenness with a lactonic, milky facet, evoking the fruit's pulp as much as its leaf. Dates extend this sweet register with a spicy warmth. Drawn from the seed of a hibiscus, ambrette brings a vegetal, powdery musk with amber glints.

Aromatic family

The aromatic character comes from the herbs and seed spices in the formula: mint, coriander and basil. These plants owe their freshness to essences rich in menthol, linalool or anisic compounds. Citrus, blackcurrant and violet leaf extend this green, lively tonality around them.
