Anfar London Royal Imperial is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Mushtaque Anfar. Royal Imperial opens with Suede and Patchouli, settles into a heart of Musk, and dries down to a base of Vetiver. Anfar London's Royal Imperial carries an Acquired verdict, a musky-led wear.

This one is a divisive blend; a heavy hitter that some will adore for its powerful, old-school confidence, while others will find it just a bit much. Definitely not for the faint-hearted.

Given its strong projection and potent musky-woody character, Royal Imperial is too intense for a typical office environment. It shines best at formal events or on a sophisticated night out, where its powerful sillage can make a statement without dominating a smaller space.

About

Royal Imperial opens with a commanding earthy patchouli paired with the smooth, tactile richness of suede, setting a deep, intense tone from the get-go. As it settles, a dominant wave of musk weaves through the composition, adding an animalic and somewhat powdery depth that's impossible to ignore. The dry-down introduces a dry, woody vetiver, reinforcing the masculine, grounding feel and keeping the musk from becoming too overwhelming. It's a bold, musky-woody fragrance with an almost vintage edge.
