Anfar 1950 Artisan Noir is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Ahmedullah Anfar. Artisan Noir opens with Rhubarb, Coffee, Almond, and Litchi, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Tuberose, and Peony, and dries down to a base of Cacao Pod, Vanilla, Incense, and Cashmeran. Anfar 1950's Artisan Noir carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

A polarising powerhouse that splits the room with its intense sweetness. Those who love it adore its bold complexity, while others find it a bit much. Definitely not a blind buy, but if it clicks, it's an absolute head-turner.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bitter almond Benzaldehyde from Almond
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Artisan Noir opens with an unexpected zing of rhubarb and lychee, quickly sweetened by creamy almond and a rich coffee accord. The heart blossoms into an opulent bouquet of white florals - tuberose, jasmine, and rose - creating a heady, almost narcotic depth. As it settles, a decadent base emerges with dark cacao, praline, and vanilla, warmed by a whisper of smoky incense and soft cashmeran, making for an intoxicating and long-lasting trail.
