Anfar London Nero Velours is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Ahmedullah Anfar. Nero Velours opens with Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Ginger and Ambrette, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Ambroxan. Anfar London's Nero Velours carries an Acquired verdict, a musky-led wear.

This one's a proper head-scratcher. Nero Velour is either a fresh, musky stunner that rivals Tygar, or it's a weak, milky tea with a hint of fruit and no projection. Good luck figuring it out.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

The fresh and musky accords make it versatile, leaning casual or for dates where a subtle presence is desired. However, reports of weak projection mean it might not cut through in a formal setting, and it lacks the oomph for dedicated sports wear.

About

Nero Velours kicks off with a sharp, invigorating grapefruit, quickly joined by the unique, subtly animalic sweetness of ambrette and a zing of fresh ginger. The heart settles into a soft, musky embrace, underpinned by the earthy, grounding tones of patchouli and vetiver, with ambroxan lending a modern, woody depth. It's a clean, sophisticated wear that leans into a refined musk.
