Anfar London The Jewel of Desert is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Abdullah Anfar. The Jewel of Desert opens with Pear, Peach, Raspberry, and Passionfruit, settles into a heart of Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Heliotrope. Anfar London's The Jewel of Desert carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This one's a bit of a gamble, mind. If you're after a lush, sweet fruit cocktail with an earthy edge, it could be your jackpot. But if patchouli rubs you up the wrong way, you might find yourself heartbroken.

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.

About

It kicks off like a vibrant fruit salad, bursting with juicy passionfruit, sweet raspberry, and ripe peach, all underpinned by a soft, delicate pear. The heart introduces a whisper of lily of the valley, a subtle floral touch that prevents the fruit from becoming too overwhelming. Eventually, it settles into a creamy, powdery base of sandalwood, vanilla, and heliotrope, with a prominent, grounding patchouli note and a touch of musk.
