Artisan Oud ANFAR 1950 – 100ml
Artisan Oud
“Smoky oud, glowing resins and a sophisticated raspberry-amberwood trail.”
A Tribute to the Art of Oud
Discover the commanding sophistication of Artisan Oud by Anfar 1950, a luxurious 100ml Extrait de Parfum created for men and women who appreciate deep woods, glowing resins, smoky nuances and refined Arabian perfumery.
Artisan Oud combines traditional Middle Eastern fragrance character with a polished modern finish. The composition revolves around the unmistakable presence of agarwood, or oud, gradually revealing incense, warm benzoin, smoky birch, saffron and an unexpectedly vibrant fruity-amber base.
The fragrance begins with Agarwood (Oud) and Incense. Rich oud immediately establishes depth and authority, while incense surrounds it with a smoky, resinous character. Together they form an atmospheric opening that feels mysterious, intense and sophisticated.
At the heart, Benzoin Tears, Birch and Saffron introduce warmth and texture. Benzoin adds a smooth balsamic sweetness, birch contributes a darker smoky and leathery nuance, and saffron brings a warm, spicy elegance that enriches the oud foundation.
The fragrance then reveals a distinctive base of Raspberry, Amberwood and Geranium. Raspberry brings a tart-sweet brightness that contrasts beautifully with the darker woods, while amberwood reinforces the composition with modern warmth and depth. Geranium provides a crisp aromatic-floral accent that gives the dry-down balance and refinement.
Powerful without sacrificing sophistication, Artisan Oud offers an expressive fragrance journey built around smoke, warm resins, precious woods and unexpected fruit. It is designed for those who want a luxurious oud scent with character, presence and a memorable signature.
