Oud Maqam Al Aneeq — one of those scents that needs no introduction. This is a masculine fragrance rooted in the spicy, east, and wood families. An eau de parfum — light-footed, but utterly unforgettable.
Brand country — the United Kingdom: a place that truly knows its way around a great scent. Oud Maqam Al Aneeq — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.
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 olfactory structure of Oud Maqam is shaped as a layered story, where notes flow with precision and warmth. The signature of Al Aneeq is clear in details that define the fragrance identity. Nothing here feels random, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de parfum supports a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
At the note-group layer the structure relies on Floral, Balsamic, Spicy and Musk. It also reaches into Wood, Fairy, Ambery and Leather. Within olfactory families the fragrance belongs to East, Spicy and Wood.
In the first seconds you meet delicate floral opening notes: Damask Rose, Frankincense and Saffron.
At the core of development you meet Cashmeran, Cedar, Nagarmotha and Oriental notes carrying a structural woody direction.
The internal accord map is shaped by these accords: Balsamic, Floral, Musc and Wood without random overlap. Secondary accord layers such as Amber, Leather, Spicy and Oriental expand the olfactory volume in the background. The gender direction is masculine, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.
Overall Oud Maqam holds a coherent structure — the start forms character, the central phase adds depth, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. This is the type of composition best understood on skin.
