Anfar London Absolu d’Orient is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Abdullah Anfar. Absolu d’Orient opens with Spicy Notes, Bergamot, Grapefruit, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Smoke, Cedar, Patchouli, and Rose, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Oakmoss, Vanilla, and Ambergris. Anfar London's Absolu d’Orient carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is a serious contender if you're after that iconic Aventus DNA without breaking the bank. It's a crowd-pleasing, well-blended scent that punches above its weight in performance and quality, offering a spicy, smoky twist on a familiar favourite.

Scent Profile

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.

Its noticeable sillage and rich, smoky profile make it a strong choice for dates and evenings. While it can work in the office during cooler months, its potency might be a bit much for close quarters. It's too complex and heavy for anything active.

About

Opens with an exhilarating burst of juicy pineapple and zesty grapefruit, spiced up with a hint of blackcurrant. As it settles, a sophisticated heart of smoky woods, earthy patchouli, and delicate rose emerges, grounding the vibrant top notes. The drydown is wonderfully rich, marrying the deep earthiness of oakmoss with warm ambergris, creamy vanilla, and sturdy woody notes, creating a complex, long-lasting aroma.
