Stardust — Afnan

Stardust by Afnan is an Oriental Woody fragrance for women and men, launched in 2026. Rich and multifaceted, Stardust contrasts a sparkling citrus opening with a decadent heart of cinnamon, caramel, and cognac before settling into a deep blend of amber, woods, resins, and musk.

The fragrance opens with airy aldehydes surrounded by bergamot, grapefruit, orange, and mandarin, creating a bright and effervescent introduction. The heart quickly becomes warmer and more indulgent as spicy cinnamon blends with smooth caramel and the boozy richness of cognac. In the dry down, amber and myrrh meet creamy sandalwood, tonka bean, oak, woody notes, and musk, creating a warm, resinous, and sophisticated finish.
