Anfar London Platinum Shade is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Abdullah Anfar. Platinum Shade opens with Red Fruits, Red Fruits, Raspberry, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Blueberry and Violet, and dries down to a base of Musk and Amber. Anfar London's Platinum Shade carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

If you're after a fruit bomb, you might feel a bit short-changed here. It's more of a woody-amber with a subtle berry whisper, which can feel a touch 'shady' if your expectations are sky-high for fruitiness.

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.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Office Casual

Its moderate sillage and woody-amber base make it versatile enough for most settings. It's not too overpowering for the office but has enough warmth for a casual date, though its elusive fruitiness might make it less of a showstopper for formal events.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Platinum Shade opens with a medley of tart red berries and blackcurrant, delivering a juicy, almost playful initial burst. This quickly softens into a powdery heart of violet and a hint of blueberry, adding a touch of sophisticated sweetness. The dry down is a classic blend of warm amber and musky woods, providing a comforting and long-lasting foundation that grounds the fleeting fruitiness.
