Anfar London ASHY WOOD is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Ahmedullah Anfar. ASHY WOOD opens with Cognac, Oakmoss, Seaweed, and Hedione, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Oud, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Tonka Bean. Anfar London's ASHY WOOD carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

If you're already flush with boozy-sweet scents, this one might feel a bit too familiar. However, for those new to the genre or seeking a solid alternative, Ashy Wood delivers a surprisingly complex sweet-oud with an interesting mineral edge.

About

Ashy Wood opens with a rich hit of boozy cognac, cut with the surprising salty freshness of seaweed and a whisper of oakmoss. The heart quickly warms with a plush oud and spicy cinnamon, brightened by a fleeting touch of orange blossom. It settles into a luxurious, gourmand base of creamy praline and tonka bean, grounded by earthy patchouli and smooth sandalwood, leaving a sophisticated, lingering sweetness.
