Platinum Shade

Platinum Shade, from the British house Anfar London, released in 2021 for women and composed by Abdullah Anfar, is equally spicy and ambery, with lighter sweet, woody, floral and citrus touches.

Lemon and sage open with a bright, herbal freshness, quickly warmed by cardamom and black cardamom, the latter adding a smoky, camphorous depth. Cinnamon brings a sweet spice, and rose a soft floral heart. The base is rich and dark: black amber and ambergris give a deep, mineral warmth, tolu balsam a balsamic, vanilla-like resin, praline a caramelised sweetness and patchouli an earthy depth.

Platinum Shade is a warm, spiced amber with a smoky, sweet character. It suits autumn and winter, evenings and formal occasions, and should appeal to anyone who enjoys rich amber and spice compositions with a touch of rose and praline.
