Afnan Rare Carbon is a smooth, modern leather eau de parfum that opens with a bold spark of leather wrapped in violet leaf, cinnamon bark, and nutmeg, then threads rose, violet, cedarwood, and oud into a structured heart, finally resting on vetiver, sandalwood, and amber for a confident, polished trail that lingers with warm, woody depth.

Story & Positioning
Part of Afnan’s Rare collection, Rare Carbon frames supple leather with airy violet leaf and warm woods for a dressed-up signature that suits evenings, formal settings, and cooler days. It’s widely discussed as a wallet-friendly alternative to Tom Ford Ombre Leather, with comparisons also made to Rasasi La Yuqawam Homme and Lattafa Velvet Oud—placing it squarely in the refined leather genre while maintaining its own fresher, violet-laced character.
