Anfas Watan EDP in detail
Anfas is the house behind Watan EDP. It comes as Eau de Parfum.
Watan for work or evenings
It works better at night than in the day, so it is a good pick for evenings, dinners and going out. Its sweet side feels cosy and rich after dark.
Watan longevity
It stays on skin for about 6 to 9 hours, so one spray in the morning can carry you through the day. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. It lasts longer than Bath & Body Works In The Star. Base notes like sweet notes and musk are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Sillage and projection
Projection is strong: people around you will notice it. Two sprays are usually enough. It spreads further than Bath & Body Works In The Star.
Who will like it
The strongest accord is sweet (100%), followed by oud and woody. You will probably like it if you enjoy sweet and oud smells and notes like cypriol oil or nagarmotha and sweet notes. Perfume fans rate it 4.22 out of 5.
