Banafā For Oud

Banafa For Oud is a specialist house, and the products here are its Khanjar blends — dense, resinous and made for people who already know oud.

A khanjar is the curved dagger worn at the belt in the Gulf, and the name is not decoration: these are traditional compositions, not the sweetened oud that has been selling recently. Expect depth and smoke rather than fruit.

What to expect

Two products here. Oud is the most persistent material in perfumery — on skin it lasts a full day, on fabric considerably longer. Use less than you would of a lighter composition; one application is a decision, not a starting point.

Evening and cooler months. In daytime heat a resinous oud amplifies quickly and becomes difficult to be near.
