Anfas by Asim Al Qassim Mada — an oriental fragrance with a leathery character
Anfas by Asim Al Qassim Mada is a unisex 2025 eau de parfum created for those who appreciate expressive, rich and noticeable compositions.
The fragrance belongs to the Fosol collection and falls within the oriental and leather families.
Its scent combines juicy fruity nuances, the spicy warmth of saffron, sensual white-floral softness and the deep texture of leather.
The perfume continues the distinctive aesthetic of Anfas by Asim Al Qassim, where an oriental soul is given a modern interpretation.
This niche house, founded in Dubai in 2014, works with rich materials and contrasts to create fragrances with a strong individual character.
Mada comes across as a confident and striking release that can accentuate the wearer's style without being tied to gender.
Mada's notes and development
The top notes open with raspberry, saffron and jasmine. The raspberry's fruity sweetness immediately enlivens the composition, while saffron adds a dry spiciness and golden depth.
Jasmine softens the opening and gradually leads the scent into a denser, more sensual heart.
Amber, a leather accord and plum form the heart.
Amber makes the fragrance warm and enveloping, leather gives it characteristic richness, while plum adds a dark fruity nuance with a lightly velvety juiciness.
Thanks to this transition, Mada maintains a balance between sweet, spicy and textured facets.
Vanilla, patchouli and musk remain in the base.
Vanilla makes the dry-down softer and rounder, patchouli adds earthy woody depth, and musk supports the fragrance's long-lasting, dense presence on the skin.
The overall impression is a rich oriental-leathery composition with a fruity-gourmand facet.
Sillage, longevity and wearing occasions
According to its positioning, Mada has very strong sillage, so the fragrance will be noticeable in the air and will appeal to those who enjoy expressive perfumery.
Its character is especially suitable for cool weather, evenings, formal occasions or any situation in which you want the fragrance to become part of your image.
On a hot day, the composition should be tested with particular care, as its amber, leather and gourmand accents may smell more intense.
The exact recommended amount for application to skin and clothing is not specified for this release.
Because of its very strong sillage, it is sensible to start with a small number of sprays and assess its development on your own skin before increasing the intensity.
The fragrance may last longer on fabric, so it is best to test how it behaves on an inconspicuous area of the material before applying it.
The perfumer and similar fragrances
Mada was created by Asim Al Qassim, the brand's founder and perfumer, whose work is closely connected with its creative direction.
His approach is expressed through a combination of oriental richness and modern presentation: rather than a simple linear accord, the composition gradually evolves from a bright fruity-spicy opening to a warm leathery heart and a musky-vanilla trail.
Those interested in dense leather fragrances with a distinctive personality should consider Mugler A*Men Pure Leather.
It can serve as a starting point for comparison, although Mada sounds more oriental and fruity thanks to raspberry, plum and saffron.
The collection also includes another concentration of this fragrance, allowing its character to be explored in a separate version.
