Anfar, also known as Oudh Al Anfar, was established in Assam, India, in 1950 by Haji Anfar Ali and his wife, Samsun Nehar Anfar Ali. The founding family’s early expertise lay in agarwood and Dehn al Oudh, forming the basis of an oud-centered fragrance identity. In 1995, founder’s son Mostaque Anfar Ali entered Arabian Peninsula and GCC markets, expanding the business beyond Assam. Anfar London operates under the Oudh Al Anfar umbrella, bringing the family’s fragrance heritage into products that combine Oriental and French influences. The enterprise remains family-linked: Fatima Anfar, the founder’s granddaughter, participated in the Dubai-based business after moving there in 2003.
