Anfar 1950 Artisan Oud is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Ahmedullah Anfar. Artisan Oud opens with Oud and Incense, settles into a heart of Birch, Saffron, and Benzoin, and dries down to a base of Geranium, Raspberry, and Amberwood. Anfar 1950's Artisan Oud carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one's a proper power play from Anfar 1950. Expect a bold, smoky oud that's smooth enough to turn heads for all the right reasons. Definitely not for the faint-hearted, but if you like 'em strong, Artisan Oud delivers.

Composition

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.

About

Artisan Oud punches hard from the start with a deep, smoky oud and resinous incense, setting a serious tone. The heart introduces a surprising softness with birch and saffron, adding a leathery warmth that's beautifully balanced. As it dries, a juicy raspberry note emerges, cutting through the amberwood and geranium, rounding off the rich, smouldering woods with a touch of fruity elegance. It’s a masterful blend of the traditional and the modern.
