Lynked Forever

So there was an error on my part, Day 43 was supposed to be Afnan Lynked Forever and today (Day 47) is supposed to be Afnan Lynked Freedom. My apologies for this, to solve the error I have switched and will be renewing Lynked Forever today. Lynked Forever has a very strong floral opening, with a gorgeous musky undertone and light sweet woody notes dancing around in it. On the dry down it keeps these notes stick around but the strong floral opening fades slightly allowing for the other notes to shine a little bit stronger and bringing them into perfect balance. On the performance front Lynked Forever is quite good, longevity wise it lasts just under 6 hours on my skin and around 7 on my clothes. A solid 7/10 here. Regarding projection it is actually very light, projecting slightly off my skin in a very pleasant way. It’s not quite a skin scent, it projects about 6 to 8 inches off my skin. A 6/10 here. Lynked Forever is a very pleasant floral scent with nice hints of sweet wood notes mixed into it. While I very much enjoyed it, it definitely leans more feminine. I’m not sure how often I would wear it if I had a bottle but it’s still a 7/10 for me overall.

I had my eye on this for a while and after a few unsuccessful blind buys I was cautious. I managed to purchase a bottle from a fragrance group I am in. It has simply stunned me, it is so beautiful and completely blew away my expectations! I love white florals and she is delivering! 👌 Beautiful florals, very elegant and classy but not mature or vintage smelling, if you asked me to guess I would have said this was a high end designer scent. I’ve never smelled DBIR Gold but I don’t feel I need to as this interpretation is beautiful on her own! I can’t stop smelling my wrist. This is a special event in summertime fragrance and the presentation is beautiful. There is a similarity to Dalal which I have but they’re not the same in comparison with Dalal being slightly woodier and muskier in the dry down, this remains fresher, juicier and the coconut is beautiful in the background! I should have bought this ages ago and she’s gone into my top ten!

Even though she is a solar, slightly creamy fragrance, there is a freshness to her akin to a flute of white wine or a spritzer at a summer brunch in the outdoors. Restrained citrus notes, white and yellow florals, and a hint of coconut, makes her one of the most understated and elegant fragrances out there. Not sure if she will develop further, but so far I detect no strong musk or woods. She is a great performer. Lasts pretty much all day with one mid day reapplication. She is a woman, not a girl. She could be a boss lady, or a sexy mom who juggles work and family and is awed and well-loved. To my mind, she evokes the same persona as valaya / mystique bouquet. We are in super classy company!

Yass, this is a banger! It works beautifully straight out of the box. The scent is a creamy floral, and I can detect all of the listed florals: ylang-ylang, gardenia, and tuberose. The tuberose is not too overpowering, which I appreciate. Performance-wise, this projects like crazy and lasts a very long time. 12 hours later, I could still smell it on my wrist. While it's not really unique, it's a fantastic 'designer-style' fragrance with amazing performance. If you enjoy creamy florals, this is a safe blind buy. Also, I've never smelled Valentino Donna Born in Roma Gold, so I can't compare it, but I do get a Jean Paul Gaultier Divine vibe from it. It's not a direct dupe though.

Wow! Love at first smell! I received 3-4 compliments in the morning wearing this to work. I bathe in it practically. It smells like creamy florals! Mature but not ‘dated’. It’s beautiful and will be on my rebuy list forever. Could see me wearing this year long, though is definitely more of a warm weather day time scent. Moderate longevity, will need a little refresh after 5 hours or so, but it does stay all day, though more subtle and skin scented after a while. 10/10!!

I love, love, love this! It is yummy, fun, and I sprayed and it was okay; picked it back up after a month and HOLY CRAP this is GOOD! It is so pretty and smells similar to 1/2 the stuff at Ulta/Sephora... so is it unique? No, but it is just such an easy reach and agreeable to many noses... I think you can wear this anytime of the year and it will def bloom in the summer heat, in the prettiest way! Super enjoyable and I feel pretty wearing it!

THis is a classy lady perfume if there ever was one! We are heading into autumn here in Australia, so i think this one will be sitting for a while. She has more a feeling of a spring perfume, with all the floral notes. The ylang ylang comes across the strongest with that yellow floral vibe. She is strong, and i will have to moderate my spraying a bit (but that's ok, I spray according to the perfume). The presentation is excellent!

I've seen this is compared to Donna Gold. And yes it is very similar DNA. However for me this is almost a 1.1 to Giardini - Almafolia. For the fraction of the cost. Absolutely beautiful fragrance. White floral heavy with a hint of coconut and a frangipani that cuts through the heaviness of the florals. Not blind buy safe. U need to like mature white florals in order to appreciate this scent.

My oh My! I don't even know where to begin so I'm going to keep it short n simple! 10/10. It's a floral scent, a heavy, creamy floral scent. I personally, find the longevity to be amazing! A little goes a long way. A couple small squirts on my wrists and a dab behind my ears is good enough for me. I was getting whiffs of it on myself throughout the entire day! I will definitely repurchase.

My absolutely best buy of all approx 30 middle eastern perfumes I have purchased, and sold again. Blind bought it hoping it would smell like Valentino Born in Roma the Gold. And it does. So many purchases done after "listening to" influencers. Almost always failures. So happy to finally have found something that I am 100 % happy with! 🥳

One of my most compliment-getter scents. I pass by and people never fail to tell me I smell nice. It's a mix of fruity and floral, never too much of each. It is a well-balanced combination of sweet, fun, elegant and fresh. It lasts me the whole day and I don't go nose-blind to it. I can wear it anywhere and it can be the perfect scent.

This is beyond yummy. It’s the perfect twist and combination of sweet floral. When you put it on, you can feel this was made with intentions the way it sits on the skin will make you feel extremely sexy. It’s definitely a mood booster for sure. I spray it all over and get different whiff of the scent ....just feel so good.

Love at first sniff, this one. Fruity opening, then the floral heart and a silky smooth dry-down. Sweet, but not cloying. It gives me the same vibe as Jasmere (Tilia dupe) which is my #1 scent (of 160 bottles). Bottle presentation is beautiful, luxurious and a heavy cap. I can totally recommend this one!

Bright, juicy and sweet! Love it for warm or hot weather ☀️ I find it pretty light and not cloying at all, I have a feeling it’s gonna be one of my fave summer perfumes this year as it’s so easy to wear. Longevity is decent, 4-6 hours on me. It’s delicious from opening to dry down.

i basically only smell the coconut which i love!! it's a very creamy, floral, summer scent. i think it's quite similar to zara's coconut jasmine sugar if you want something to compare it to before blind buying, and has the JPG Divine "vibe" but it's not the same. gorgeous!

Now THIS is a perfume! No freaky smells just a beautiful perfume. The floral notes are the strongest. This is what I was hoping for in Mystic Bouquet . That has that forward middle astern smell where as this one does not. It is super long lasting and silage.

Ok... I’m loving this... great presentation heavy glass bottle with metal cap, and the juice is oh so lovely. Florals at the opening with creamy coconut in the dry down, it’s very pleasant, very feminine scent 💗 I can see her becoming a crowd pleaser.

Yes, yes and thousand times YES! It's a very feminine, floral and clean. It reminds me of a wedding in a flower garden. I definitely catch delicate and elegant white florals. I have received many compliments wearing it.

Beautiful romantic smell, heavy on the yellow florals,sweet but definitely not clawing. Very versatile, good for any session day or night. Layers beautifully with Tom Ford lost cherry and with cherry bouquet by afnan.

Just received this. Smells delicious straight out of the box. Good projection and sillage, a definite crowd pleaser. For me it's a 10/10, my husband rated it 9/10 and he never gives more than a 7/10.
