The house of Afnan presents Paris Oud. A unisex fragrance belonging to the east and wood families. In eau de parfum — and that's all it takes to fall in love.
The birthplace of this fragrance — the United Arab Emirates, a place with a refined nose. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The composition of Paris Oud unfolds as a living composition, where notes flow with precision and warmth. The creative approach of Afnan comes through in details that define the fragrance identity. Nothing here feels random, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de parfum sets the right density and pace of development.
In a unified mixed pyramid the notes arrive together with a voluminous amber mood: Ambergris, Citrus accord, Oud, Tonka bean, Vanilla and ylang-ylang. In this format 6 notes act as one coherent layer, building soft resinous sensuality that keeps the opening compact and balanced.
The inner phases are read as a continuous motion from lift to depth, which keeps the fragrance coherent.
The accord profile rests on these accords: Citrus, Gourmet, Floral and Wood with each one in a clear role. Additional accords such as Amber and Spicy add depth to the backdrop.
At the note-group layer the composition is built around Ambery, Citrus, Wood and Spicy. It also reaches into Gourmet and Whiteflower.
Taken together Paris Oud sounds complete from start to finish — the opening sets direction, the central phase adds depth, while the drydown anchors the memory. This is the type of composition best judged on skin.
