Anfar 1950 Odyssee IV — the character and story of the fragrance
Anfar 1950 Odyssee IV is a unisex perfume in Extrait de Parfum concentration, released in 2023.
The fragrance was created by Anfar 1950, a UAE perfume brand that works with men's, women's and unisex compositions, paying particular attention to rich formats, perfume oils and an oriental character.
Odyssee IV is part of the Edition Odyssee Par Anfar collection.
Its place in this line already sets the mood of the fragrance: it feels like an expressive olfactory journey in which spices, woody nuances, leather and soft sweetness gradually merge into a dense, distinctive accord.
Olfactive profile and development
The fragrance belongs to the oriental, floral and woody fragrance families.
Its character combines spicy warmth, dry woods, a leathery texture and a gourmand background, making the composition multilayered rather than centered on a single dominant note.
At the opening, bergamot adds a fresh citrus lift, quickly joined by cinnamon, spices and tobacco.
It then becomes deeper: iris lends a powdery elegance, the leather accord adds distinctive density, and tuberose brings an expressive white-floral nuance.
In the base, akigalawood and guaiac wood meet tonka bean and vanilla.
This creates a warm, slightly spicy and softly sweet finish, supported by a noticeable woody foundation.
On the skin, Odyssee IV develops gradually, moving from a bright spicy-tobacco opening to a rounder, leathery-woody trail.
Who is Odyssee IV for?
This is a unisex fragrance by perfumer Ahmedullah Anfar, created for those who enjoy noticeable and rich compositions.
It makes no attempt to go unnoticed: its very strong sillage makes it well suited to evening outings, special occasions and cool weather, when its spicy-woody accords unfold especially expressively.
Odyssee IV may appeal to fans of tobacco, leather, oriental and gourmand fragrances.
In hot weather, it should be used with particular care, while in autumn and winter it can reveal the full depth of vanilla, tonka bean, woody nuances and spices.
For the office or a small space, it is best to start with a minimal number of sprays.
Sillage, dosage and similar fragrances
The sillage of Anfar 1950 Odyssee IV is described as very strong, so the composition is noticeable not only to the wearer but also to those around them.

Fragrances that may interest fans of this style include Bvlgari Bvlgari Man In Black, Lattafa Perfumes Khamrah and The Spirit of Dubai Turath.
They are not exact equivalents, but echo Odyssee IV in their richness, warm spicy nuances, woody facets or distinctive oriental character.
No other concentrations of Anfar 1950 Odyssee IV are listed in the available data.
Overall, this is a dense, striking and noticeable perfume for those who prefer an expressive olfactory signature over everyday neutrality, with a tobacco-spicy opening, a floral heart and a warm woody-vanilla base.
