✨ Vibe

The opening is bright, juicy and extremely refreshing, with bergamot, grapefruit and kaffir lime creating a sparkling citrus blast. Pear and subtle raspberry add a juicy fruity sweetness, giving the opening an almost ice-cold lemonade feel.

As it develops, the citrus freshness becomes softer and more airy. White rose, lavender, white lily and orange blossomcreate a clean, vegetal-floral heart without making the fragrance feel overly floral.

The dry-down is where the coastal character really comes through. Airy musk, frankincense and subtle Hindi-Laos oud create a smooth woody foundation, while the warm animalic and salty accord adds a distinctive sea-air, sun-warmed skin and coastal atmosphere.

Overall, the vibe is citrusy, fruity, airy, salty, woody and refreshing—like standing beside the sea on a hot summer afternoon with a cold glass of lemonade in hand.

💭 What to Expect

Expect a fragrance that starts with a bright citrus-fruity explosion, transitions into a soft and airy floral heart, and gradually becomes warmer, muskier, slightly salty and woody.

What makes Chittagong Summer interesting is that it doesn’t stay a simple fresh citrus fragrance. The salty accord, frankincense, musk and subtle oud give it a more atmospheric character as it dries down.

It’s fresh enough for Bangladesh’s summer heat, while the musky, woody and slightly animalic base gives it enough depth to remain interesting throughout the wear.

⏳ Performance

Performance can vary depending on skin, weather and application. The airy opening is designed around freshness, while the musk, frankincense, oud and warm base provide more depth as the fragrance settles.

Chittagong Summer by Zakir Gafur x RafaScent is perfect for anyone who loves bright citrus, juicy fruits, airy florals, salty accords and soft woods—a refreshing summer fragrance with a distinctly coastal Bangladeshi atmosphere.
