Aks Obsidian is not for everyone — and that’s exactly the point. Where the rest of the lineup makes friends, Obsidian makes an impression. Smoky frankincense, creamy black iris, dark leather, and a thread of oud weave into something that smells ancient and modern at once — like a private majlis, incense curling in the air, conversation kept low. This is the scent of the man who doesn’t need the room’s attention because he already has its respect. The most complex, most luxurious composition we make.

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.

LONGEVITY

12 out of 12

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.

PROJECTION

8 out of 12

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.

SILLAGE

9 out of 12

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.
