In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Anfas Al Oud Noir by Orientica offers a bold mix of sweet rose and dark leather designed for cold winter evenings. The fragrance begins with a sugary floral burst before settling into deep woodsy resins and labdanum. It is built for those who appreciate heavy, resinous Middle Eastern scent profiles.

Reviews →

Orientica Bakhoor is a dense, warming blend that captures the smoky essence of traditional Arabian incense. It wraps syrupy rose and burnt caramel in a thick layer of animalic leather and dry resins. This concentrated oil projects a heavy, dark aura that feels most at home on cold winter nights.
