In Sanskrit, “ankura” refers to the sprouting or budding of a plant. It can also signify the seed of an idea or feeling. This uplifting green chypre teases feelings into play with its sunny opening of lemon, bergamot, mint, and the honeyed spice of helichrysum flower. Oakmoss brings shade and mystery, accompanying an earthy blend of patchouli, sage and soil tincture. At its full bloom, the smoky allure of Prachinburi oud fills the soul, turning Ankura into an enchanted forest.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
Ankura suits an alert, quietly assertive presence: sleeves rolled back, conversation close enough for the mint and honeyed immortelle to register before the darker moss and smoke. Its old-school green structure feels composed, but the earthy oud keeps it from becoming formal or restrained.
How to wear
Try it in mild spring weather or cooler autumn air, when the citrus and mint can contrast with the earthy, smoky base. Start with one spray on the torso and assess before adding more; its powerful extrait character calls for restraint at close quarters. In warm conditions, keep the application light to preserve the balance between freshness and depth.
Who it’s for
For lovers of mossy chypres, aromatic greens and vintage-style perfumery who want more earth and smoke beneath the freshness. It will appeal especially to those drawn to distinctive oud, herbal bitterness and honeyed immortelle rather than straightforward citrus or sweet woods.

The nose
Ashek Zubayer is Byermia’s self-taught perfume artist, responsible for fragrance creation and materials sourcing. His approach combines carefully selected naturals with other perfumery materials, bringing vintage structures into a contemporary setting. In Ankura, that sensibility takes the form of a green chypre built around aromatic freshness, earthy textures and smoky oud.
Byermia’s story
Byermia is a Sydney-based, family-run perfume house devoted to handcrafted compositions that connect vintage fragrance aesthetics with modern elements. Its natural-focused approach pays particular attention to materials’ origins, species and extraction methods, treating those differences as part of each perfume’s character rather than pursuing an exclusively natural formula.
Ankura’s concept
Ankura takes its name from the Sanskrit word for a sprout or budding plant and represents youth within Byermia’s Epoch Series. Its composition follows the tensions of adolescence: bright citrus and mint suggest discovery, earthy patchouli and soil evoke resilience, while oakmoss and smoky oud express confidence alongside uncertainty.
Extra info
Ankura’s earthy character includes soil tincture and aged patchouli, while its oud is identified specifically as Prachinburi oud. Within the Epoch Series, it represents youth, followed by fragrances themed around first love, marriage and leadership.
