Eclipse — an Eastern play of light and shadow
Eclipse Parfum / Extrait de Parfum is a unisex fragrance by Ahom World / Zakir Gafur, released in 2025.
This composition belongs to the perfume, or extrait, family, so it is perceived as a rich and expressive fragrance release with a strong character.
Eclipse's olfactory profile combines citrus, floral and woody facets, complemented by gourmand, musky and white-floral nuances.
The name Eclipse evokes a striking contrast: fresh, luminous accents meet deep, warm and slightly mysterious tones.
The fragrance is designed for those who enjoy a noticeable presence and have no desire to blend into the background.
Thanks to its unisex positioning, it can unfold differently on the skin, highlighting the wearer's individual chemistry.
The fragrance pyramid and olfactory character
Grapefruit and mandarin are listed in the composition, creating a sparkling citrus impression.
The floral accord unfolds through champaca, frangipani, jasmine and lotus, creating an exotic, soft and expansive heart.
The base is supported by Cambodian oud, oud, tobacco, vanilla and musk, which add density, velvety smoothness and a long-lasting finish.
Cambodian oud occupies a special place here — an expressive woody facet capable of lending the composition Eastern depth.
Alongside it, the floral theme feels rich and sensual rather than weightless, while the citrus notes help preserve a sense of light and dynamism.
As a result, Eclipse balances freshness, exotic flowers, dark woods and soft sweetness.
Sillage and wearability
Eclipse is described as having very strong sillage, so it is best introduced gradually, with consideration for the space around you.
The extrait is particularly suitable for evening wear, formal occasions, dates or cool weather, when its rich woody and floral accords sound most expressive.
The composition can also be intriguing on a hot day, but it calls for a more restrained application.
The manufacturer has not specified an exact recommended number of sprays for the skin or clothing.
A practical approach is to start with a minimal amount on the skin, give the fragrance time to unfold, and only then intensify it if necessary.
On fabric, the sillage usually lasts longer, so a cautious application from a distance is sufficient, especially when the garment is made of a delicate material.
Its place in the brand's palette
Ahom World / Zakir Gafur is a UAE perfume brand that creates unisex and men's fragrances in various concentrations, including perfume oils, eau de parfum, perfumes and extraits, as well as colognes.
Eclipse continues the brand's Eastern perfumery line, but is not built solely around dark woods.
The citrus opening and exotic flowers make it more multifaceted, while the vanilla-musk base adds softness and an appealing rounded quality.
The perfumer behind Eclipse is not identified in the available information, so attributing the release to a specific nose would be inaccurate.
No other concentrations or separate collection have been announced for this fragrance either.
Among the fragrances worth exploring next for an introduction to rich compositions and an unusual floral-woody mood is Memo Corfu; Eclipse, however, retains its own emphasis on oud, tropical flowers, citrus and tobacco-vanilla depth.
