Portrait - Revival

Afnan’s Portrait Revival is just another example of taking a very popular scent DNA and cashing in on it. At least they tried something different with the bottle design and packaging. Scent wise, if you smelled Lataffa’s Khamrah or Zimaya’s Sharaf Blend you automatically know how Portrait Revival smells like. 99% similar to both. But with a dark chocolate note added, which is not even that distinguishing on the skin.. It’s a scent profile that is very much to my liking so I don’t mind owning any of them, especially for cool weather and especially since my husband grew to like and wear them. With all that being said, if you have one, you don’t need the other two. Performance is on par with Lataffa, long lasting and strong projector. I’d say buy the one you can get cheaper in your country or the one you like better the bottle design. I find Afnan bottle sleek design the most easy to carry around in a purse or a bag. The other two mentioned above are more clunky. And I always appreciate an ombré bottle.

I LOOOOOOOVE THIS PERFUME! ❤️ Holy heck this is so good.🫦 I immediately get smoked apple-like fruitiness, a very well balanced cinnamon swimming in sweet dark spiced brandy. The booziness melts into a delicate but prominent woodiness and that smokey, cinnamon apple/fruit just radiates into your senses. Damm Good! Warning! Burnt rubber notes emerge if you spray too much but it eventually goes away. (30 min or so} 10/10 SMEEEEELLLLL MEEEEE!

It's basically Afnan's take on Angel's Share. A direct competitor to Sharaf Blend, Kamrah Qawah, but with Afnan's twist. A rum detail to it. It's quite good. 8.5-9.5/10.

Smooth Sophistic Sweet. Love the way this is not trying to overdo anything. Near perfection.

Opening: A quite pleasant blend of warm spices such as cinammon, pepper, honey as well as some floral notes with hints of chocolate 7/10 Later: The latter part is where this perfume starts to shine for me. It becomes a really nice blend of spices, dates and chocolate, some da which later on becomes much more visible. The blend is sweet but not sweet which is really nice. 8/10 Projection and sillage: Projection is solid, you got a 2-3 hours of solid bauble and then the smell stays closer to you. 7.5/10 Price:quality 8/10 Overall: It's really pleasant gourmand scent. It's full of various spices and fine chocolate. What I especially like about it, is that in spite of having these notes its sweetness stays on a pleasant, not overwhelming level. The scent itself does feel noble and I think it's a good choice if you're into scents of warm spices and chocolate. It does bear some resemblance to Khamrah but it's not that sweet and the chocolate in it is a great addition, in my opinion.

Afnan Portrait Revival is slightly similar to Lattafa Khamrah, but far more intense. Once you spray this fragrance on your skin, you’ll be smelling it for days (or possibly longer if it’s on your clothes). I’m not joking! I did ONE spray on my wrist and was already impressed by the scent. Three days go by and it was still projecting off of me. It wasn't even a skin scent. It was HEAVY! I tried washing it off a few time since it started to bother me a bit, but alas. This is one stubborn fragrance. It’s nice, but very stubborn. Like a cat with its claws embedded into your leg and refusing to let go. Only wear Portrait Revival with confidence. Don't underestimate it!

#1636 in my “Tour de Fragrance” Blind bought this expecting another Kilian "Angel’s Share" similar and it is. Good longevity and silage. Really nice bottle. All the Kilian “Angel’s Share” clones are roughly the same and roughly the same nice price. This doesn’t smell quite as synthetic as the Zimaya “Sharaf Blend" or Lattafa “Khamrah". So I’d say go for this one, though I prefer the "Khamrah Qawah” over them all. Good Luck and Good Hunting!

I used it today, on my skin and clothes Projection is up to 1 hour And the longevity is up to 3-5 hours You will have dominant note from saffron, i kinda smell tobacco in this perfume, the sweet dark chocolate is noticeable in the drydown

Wow, I'm not a big fan of incense notes in fragrances, but to me this is the most beautifully blended fragrance I've ever smelt. It does smell like Killian's Angel's Share, but a bit darker and sophisticated. If you're not a fan of the sweetness of Angel's Share, then you should definitely get this one. It's extremely affordable, the bottle is heavy, and it does smell like Sharaf Blend by Zamaya, but replace the sweetness with a bit of smokiness. Very faint, but this is by far my favorite Angel's Share DNA fragrance. 10/10

This is really good! The saffron is done beautifully in it. Afnan is really getting their game on with this one.👍🏻😻
