Anfas Ishq is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Christian Carbonnel and Asem Al Qassim. Ishq opens with Jasmine and Saffron, settles into a heart of Amber and Raspberry, and dries down to a base of Powdery and Oakmoss. Anfas's Ishq carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one is a real head-turner, divisive but magnetic. Love it or hate it, Ishq commands attention with its potent blend of fruit and spice, often drawing comparisons to BR540 but with its own unique, powdery, fruity punch.

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.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

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

Ishq opens with a heady mix of exotic saffron and sweet jasmine, immediately grabbing you. The heart blossoms into a juicy, slightly tangy raspberry, backed by a warm amber glow. As it settles, a soft, inviting talc-like powder emerges, grounding the sweetness with an earthy hint of oakmoss, creating a smooth, rich finish.
