The House of Anfar · Since 1950
Three generations of the Anfar family, one devotion to oud.
Oudh Al Anfar is a family perfume house that has worked with oud, bakhoor and precious oils since 1950. Today it blends and fills its fragrances in Deira, Dubai, and Anfar London is its modern house — where Arabian perfumery meets French-style composition.
Our story
Three generations, one line of craft
-
1950
The first generation
The Anfar family begins its work with agarwood, Dehn al Oudh, bakhoor and perfume oils — choosing every oud at origin and selling to people who knew the difference.
-
II
The second generation
Trained in the oud trade by his parents, Mushtaque Anfar takes the House across the Arabian Gulf and establishes it in Dubai, building a retail and distribution network that reaches customers in more than thirty countries.
-
III
The third generation
His sons Abdullah, Ahmedullah and Obaidullah Anfar lead the House into a new era: new houses, a new generation of perfumers and a global expansion that today includes the official Anfar USA store.

Today
Four houses, made in Dubai
Oudh Al Anfar, Anfar London, Anfar 1950 and Adyan by Anfar are blended and filled in Deira. Anfar London’s Midnight Edition — Midnight Frost Intense, Eclipse, Tangerine, Arctic and Midnight Homme Intense — carries the House’s craft into fresh, modern perfumery.

Every fragrance is composed, blended and filled in Dubai, at the heart of the city’s old perfume quarter.
Arabian roots, modern compositions
From traditional oud and bakhoor to the fresh, icy Midnight Frost line, the House pairs heritage with contemporary perfumery.
