Anar

Anar, from Nabeel, is a fragrance where sweet and woody sides lead equally, with spice and leather close behind.

Saffron and cinnamon give a warm, slightly leathery, sweet-spiced opening. The heart is dark and gourmand: cacao pod and cocoa bring a rich, bittersweet chocolate note, and praline a toasted, nutty caramel. The base is deep and textured, with oud giving a dark, resinous, slightly smoky wood, leather and suede a supple, smooth texture, patchouli an earthy depth and vanilla a creamy sweetness that ties the chocolate and wood together.

Worn by anyone, it suggests autumn and winter, evenings and festive occasions. It should appeal to those who like chocolate-and-oud gourmands with a leathery, spiced edge, rich and indulgent rather than fresh or light, a scent that feels warm, dark and cosy, made for cold nights rather than sunny afternoons.
