What is a niche perfume?

A niche perfume is a fragrance far removed from the mass market: high-quality raw materials, original compositions and a distinctive signature. Rather than aiming for broad appeal, niche houses focus on character – a fragrance should evolve on the skin and be unmistakable.

How do I find the right fragrance for me?

Take your time and wear the fragrance for a few days in everyday life. With our 3 ml decants you can discover at leisure how a perfume unfolds on your skin. Many people don’t find their signature scent with the first spray, but after a few days.

Do you offer samples or decants?

Yes. We offer a 3 ml decant of every fragrance in our range, so you can get to know your favourite before committing to a full bottle.

The brand

Anfas

Hinter Anfas steht Asim Al Qassim, der erste zertifizierte Parfumeur der Emirate. Jede Kreation beginnt bei ihm mit einem arabischen Wort und der Emotion, die darin steckt – und wird von dort in einen Duft übersetzt. So entstehen warme, tiefgründige Kompositionen, die von Gastfreundschaft, Erinnerung und der Seele Arabiens erzählen. 'Salam' trägt diese Handschrift in ihrer schönsten Form.

The mind behind it

Asim Al Qassim

Brand Owner & Perfumer

Asim Al Qassim is a perfumer and brand owner from the United Arab Emirates. With his brand Anfas he unites traditional Arabian fragrance culture with a modern signature. His creations tell stories of hospitality, emotion and the cultural roots of his homeland. Before devoting himself entirely to perfumery, Al Qassim worked as an architect – an influence still reflected today in his structured, detail-oriented approach.
