{"product_id":"watan","title":"Watan Gold – Oriental Woody Extrait de Parfum","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWatan Gold by Anfas\u003c\/strong\u003e is a niche woody, oriental, and musky \u003cstrong\u003eperfume extract\u003c\/strong\u003e, unisex, created by perfumer \u003cstrong\u003eAsim Al Qassim\u003c\/strong\u003e. In Arabic, \u003cstrong\u003ewatan\u003c\/strong\u003e means \u003cstrong\u003ehomeland\u003c\/strong\u003e, the land of one's birth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA house where every fragrance starts with an Arabic word\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnfas\u003c\/strong\u003e (أنفاس) means \u003cstrong\u003e“breaths”\u003c\/strong\u003e in Arabic, and the house's theme is \u003cstrong\u003eArab hospitality\u003c\/strong\u003e—that way of welcoming guests that, according to its founder, is something you can breathe in the Emirates. It was founded in the \u003cstrong\u003eUnited Arab Emirates\u003c\/strong\u003e by \u003cstrong\u003eAsim Al Qassim\u003c\/strong\u003e, an \u003cstrong\u003earchitect by training and the first certified Emirati perfumer\u003c\/strong\u003e. His method is stated plainly: \u003cstrong\u003eit starts with an Arabic word, traces back to the emotion it evokes, and then translates that into a fragrance formula\u003c\/strong\u003e—perfumes that are not \u003cem\u003einspired\u003c\/em\u003e by Arab culture, but \u003cstrong\u003emade from it\u003c\/strong\u003e. His architect's eye is evident in the bottle: the rim is adorned with \u003cstrong\u003epalm leaves\u003c\/strong\u003e depicting the sun, a \u003cstrong\u003eflower opens in the center of the cap\u003c\/strong\u003e like a gift presented on a tray, and each bottle features an \u003cstrong\u003eArabic engraving\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAn opening of oud and labdanum\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOud\u003c\/strong\u003e opens the fragrance—a very rare choice, as this heavy material is usually reserved for the base. Resinous, animalic, and instantly recognizable, it is accompanied by \u003cstrong\u003elabdanum\u003c\/strong\u003e, the leathery, honeyed resin of the cistus plant. There are no citrus notes to soften the opening: you are immersed in the theme from the very first second.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA heart of cypriol and floral notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCypriol essential oil\u003c\/strong\u003e—nagarmotha, an Indian root with the scent of smoky wood and leather—takes over, softened by subtle \u003cstrong\u003efloral notes\u003c\/strong\u003e. This is the moment when the fragrance takes a breath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA base of sweet notes and musk\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSweet notes\u003c\/strong\u003e round off the resin, while \u003cstrong\u003emusk\u003c\/strong\u003e adds a skin-like softness that carries the fragrance through. The trail is deep, warm, and lasts all day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe house's signature\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOud in the top notes.\u003c\/strong\u003e This is the most radical choice in the Anfas collection: agarwood is a slow-burning, tenacious material, usually placed in the base so that it unfolds gradually. Here, it opens the fragrance. Nothing prepares you for it, nothing softens it—no citrus, no spices. The theme demands it: \u003cem\u003ewatan\u003c\/em\u003e is the homeland, and the house compares it to \u003cstrong\u003egold\u003c\/strong\u003e, a color reflected in the bottle. You do not introduce your homeland with pleasantries: you announce it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFor whom, and for what occasions?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWoody, oriental, and musky, this perfume extract is for those who already know oud and want it front and center. It performs at its best in winter and in the evening, and is equally suited to both women and men.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith \u003cstrong\u003eWatan Gold Anfas\u003c\/strong\u003e, Asim Al Qassim captures in a bottle the Arabic word for the land from which we come.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANFAS","offers":[{"title":"75 ml","offer_id":54414502134024,"sku":"PROD-000281","price":305.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/0315\/8024\/files\/anfas-watan-gold-1254x1254_59c8712a-e573-4c9d-a65e-1c60561072fa.jpg?v=1787118377","url":"https:\/\/odorare.fr\/en\/products\/watan","provider":"Odorare Parfumerie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
