October 10th
Designed for cold weather, October 10th by Anfasic targets lovers of intense fruity oud compositions who want noticeable projection. It suits formal night events and leather jacket weather, where the thick agarwood and earth-bound patchouli cut through crisp night air. Crisp apple and plum give the scent an initial lifted sweetness before rose softens the transition into a resinous, woody base. Wearers who usually shy away from heavy oriental perfumery might find the floral heart surprisingly airy, though the dark vanilla anchors it firmly in evening territory. It demands moderate application to avoid overwhelming indoor settings.

Expect 9 to 11 hours of total longevity on skin, with fabrics retaining the scent past the 16-hour mark. Initial sillage projects three to four feet during the first two hours, gradually receding to a persistent two-foot bubble. It performs best in cold weather below 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
Notes Pyramid
Search these notesChoose where each note belongs.
October 10th presents a rich, jammy texture that balances sweet fruit with dry medicinal woodiness. Dark plum, crisp apple, and peach open the profile, yielding to a cool heart of rose and lily. The base dries down into a heavy, resinous mixture of agarwood, patchouli, and dry vanilla pod.
Main Accords
10 MAPPEDThe dominant agarwood accord behaves like smoky, unburnt wood on skin, asserting itself heavily beneath the sweet top notes. Fruity accords of plum and peach remain surprisingly resilient, clinging to the patchouli base for hours rather than evaporating quickly. White floral elements of rose and lily act as a temporary buffer, softening the heavy woodiness before fading into the dry vanilla background.

EDITORIAL“Anfasic October 10th Review: Dense Plum, Dark Agarwood, and Crisp Rose”
October 10th opens with an immediate blast of stewed plum, crisp apple, and peach skin. The fruitiness hits hard, carrying a dark sweetness that feels substantial rather than candy-like. Within three minutes, the sharp apple note mellows out, allowing the plum to settle into a dense, jammy accord. It catches attention instantly, though anyone expecting a sheer splash will feel overwhelmed by the volume.
As the fruit settles, a green-tinted white floral heart emerges around the ten-minute mark. Lily and rose pull the composition away from pure gourmand sweetness. The rose feels dewy rather than powdery, offering a cool contrast against the mounting warmth underneath. After an hour, patchouli and dark agarwood start rising from the skin, turning the bright floral heart into something much heavier and more grounding.
On warm skin, the agarwood accord dominated by smoky and medicinal facets takes control faster than expected. The vanilla in the base does not turn creamy; instead, it behaves like dry pod shavings, giving a dark undertone to the earthiness of patchouli. My hot take is that the lily note gets completely drowned out by the second hour. The white floral freshness retreats too early, leaving mostly plum jam and woody smoke behind.
Performance is impressive, giving around 9 to 10 hours of active wear on wrists and neck. The sillage creates a strong four-foot bubble for the first two hours before settling into an arm-length scent trail. This is strictly a cold weather option for brisk autumn evenings and winter nights. Wearing this in high summer heat turns the thick plum and agarwood mix suffocatingly heavy.
This scent suits experienced buyers who appreciate bold Middle Eastern style blends with a fruity accent. If you enjoy perfumes that combine fruit with dark resins, this fits right in. However, fans of clean laundry scents or sheer citrus florals should stay far away. It requires confidence, cold air, and darker outfits to pull off naturally.
October 10th delivers a powerful mix of fruit, flower, and wood that demands respect. While the rapid disappearance of the lily heart keeps it from true perfection, the plum and agarwood dry-down provides tremendous depth. Sample this first if you are new to heavy oud blends, but grab a full bottle if you love dark evening fragrances.
