Anfar London Chef d’Oeuvre is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Ahmedullah Anfar. Chef d’Oeuvre opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Orange, settles into a heart of Fruity Notes and Amber, and dries down to a base of Musk and Vanilla. Anfar London's Chef d’Oeuvre carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

A beast of a budget summer gourmand, Chef d'Oeuvre offers incredible value and stellar performance. It's an undisputed dupe that many rate above the original, though it might be a bit much for some in the heat.

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.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Date Casual

Its beast-mode projection and sweet-fruity profile make it a star for casual outings and dates, but potentially overwhelming for formal or office settings. Users suggest it can be 'too much' in summer heat due to its sweetness.

About

Opens with a zesty, bright burst of Sicilian lemon, orange, and bergamot, quickly softening into a juicy, sweet fruit medley. As it settles, creamy vanilla and warm amber add depth, underpinned by a smooth, airy musk, creating a fruity-sweet, almost aquatic, masculine gourmand. Projection for days, longevity forever.
