You'll love this if...
You’re drawn to deep, smoky, oriental fragrances like Amouage Interlude, Oud Wood, or traditional bakhoor and incense — and you want something nobody else in the room will be wearing.
Notes & Performance Card
OPENING | 0–15 minutes
What you smell: A brief, sparkling green-citrus flash — herbal and slightly wet, like crushed leaves — before the darkness rises underneath. Don’t judge it here; this is just the curtain lifting.
HEART | 15 minutes – 4 hours
What you smell: The soul of the fragrance — buttery, creamy iris wrapped in sacred incense smoke and warm resins, sweetened by a quiet vein of vanilla. Rich, contemplative, and unmistakably luxurious. This is what niche perfumery smells like.
DRYDOWN | 4 hours onward
What you smell: A deep, smoky leather-and-woods foundation that lasts into the next day. Dark, dry, and quietly powerful — the embers after the fire.
Winter (Islamabad/Lahore evenings, 8–15°C): 14+ hours. This is Obsidian’s natural habitat — the resins and woods bloom magnificently in the cold. Our #1 winter recommendation. Summer (40°C+): Wearable after sunset in air-conditioned settings, 10+ hours — but heat amplifies its density. Reserve it for evening events; reach for OG 1966 or Titan in the daytime heat.
Spray Guide:
Evening events/dinners: 2–3 sprays — chest and neck. This is the densest formula we make; it needs very little. Weddings/formal occasions: 3–4 sprays, including one on the inner collar of your sherwani or coat. Do not exceed this indoors — Obsidian at full power commands the whole hall.
12+ hours on skin — the longest-lasting fragrance in our entire lineup. On a sherwani or winter coat, expect it to still be there at next week’s dry cleaning.
Deep rather than loud. A rich, smoky aura at arm’s length for the first 3–4 hours, then an intimate, skin-close presence. It doesn’t shout across the room — it makes people want to come closer.
Leaves a haunting incense trail that lingers in a room after you’ve left it. Unforgettable in the literal sense.

What's inside the bottle
Aks Obsidian is built on premium-grade aromachemicals and resinous materials — the same molecules used by the world’s leading niche houses — at a verified >30% total aromatic concentration. We use clean, perfumer-grade alcohol and give every batch a full maceration period before bottling; for a composition this dense, that ageing time is what transforms raw richness into seamless depth.
- Concentration guarantee — every bottle is genuine Extrait strength. No diluted batches, ever.
- Batch consistency — the bottle you buy next year will smell identical to the one you buy today.
- Performance honesty — every longevity and projection figure on this page comes from real wear-testing in Pakistani conditions.
