Mirsaal of Trust by Afnan presents a bold, hyper-focused leathery profile that hovers near the boundaries of being overwhelming. It opens with a distinct fruity woody top, dominated by raspberry and vetiver, adding a layer of freshness that contrasts sharply with the dense, smoky leather arriving in the middle. The fragrance evolves into a powerful, linear scent with a strong woody-amber base, leading to a dry down that lingers with resiny, sweet-tinged woody notes. While some find it refreshingly accessible compared to its peers, many feel it lacks the depth and complexity of true leather fragrances, especially at full strength. The performance is consistently outstanding—projection and longevity rank among the highest, with moderate to strong sillage. It is best enjoyed in cooler weather, particularly autumn and winter, and is not recommended for day wear or summer use due to its intensity. Some note skin irritation from the blend, suggesting a sensitivity even to non-traditional ingredients.
