AFFINITY

Affinity is a unisex parfum by The Spirit of Kings, the luxury perfume house with roots in Spain that dedicates each collection to a virtue of kings and queens. It belongs to the Compassion Collection and is signed by perfumer Christian Provenzano: a floral ambery woody fragrance with an enveloping character, spicy and aromatic at the same time.

The Fragrance

In the Compassion Collection the colour is red, which for the house evokes emotion, passion and sentiment, and the inspiration is the proverb "It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness". Affinity celebrates mutual understanding, shared values and that refined sense of compatibility that builds trust and respect between monarchs, allies and subjects. The brand describes it as an irresistible mixture of sweet and tangy, designed to make everyone crave more.

How It Evolves on Skin

The opening is lively and spicy: nutmeg, the undisputed protagonist of this phase, lights up alongside the citrus freshness of bergamot. The heart turns floral and aromatic, with jasmine intertwining with lavender and geranium in an elegant, almost fougère-like accord. The base is warm and enveloping: amber, musk and moss blend with sandalwood, patchouli and olibanum, leaving a creamy, resinous and reassuring trail on the skin.

Who We Recommend Affinity To

We recommend Affinity to anyone who loves spicy, elegant perfumes with a floral soul and a warm base that lasts for hours. It is ideal for the office, for dinners and for cooler days, and it appeals to those looking for a refined yet unconventional perfume that conveys confidence without excess. Unisex in the truest sense, it adapts naturally to any skin.

Fragrance Characteristics

Our Opinion

Affinity is one of those perfumes you only truly understand on the skin: at first spray it strikes you with its bold character, then it softens and becomes almost like a hug. It is the one we are happiest to suggest when someone asks us for something warm and refined, but different from the more classic ambers.
