Souvenir Floral Bouquet

The Afnan Souvenir Floral Bouquet Review

When a fragrance achieves the kind of ubiquity that Souvenir Floral Bouquet has, cynicism is the easy response. The harder — and more honest — question is: why? What is it about this EDP from Afnan that has made it a fixture in so many wardrobes across continents? Released in 2020, Souvenir Floral Bouquet built its following on fruity, rose, fresh, floral, sweet, and years on, it has not lost a step.

A beautifully crafted dupe for a high-end niche floral, offering a juicy litchi-rose profile that is both elegant and playful.

How Souvenir Floral Bouquet Smells: Notes & Development

Souvenir Floral Bouquet opens with Litchi, Rhubarb and Bergamot — an assertive first impression that carries across a room. Once that burns off, usually inside the first half hour, the heart turns to Rose, Peony and Jasmine. What lingers on skin and clothing hours later is the base: Vanilla, Musk and Cashmeran.

Strip it back to the bones and the profile reads fruity, rose, fresh, floral, sweet — easy to place and easy to wear.
