Zafar

Which Should You Buy?
Fortuna is a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent. Many will find the oud too challenging, leaning into barnyard territory, while others will appreciate its edgy, artistic take on the classic rose-oud. Not one for a blind buy unless you're accustomed to assertive animalic notes.
Zafar is a bold take on Middle Eastern luxury, though its opening can be quite a shock. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent for some, with a polarising initial funk that evolves into something truly opulent and distinctive.

Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Given its strong projection and exceptional longevity, Zafar is too potent for most office environments. It shines on dates and formal occasions where its luxurious, complex character can be appreciated without overwhelming a small space. Its unique, Middle Eastern profile isn't typically suited for casual or sport wear.
