Does this fragrance work better for day or night?+−
Anubis is primarily considered an evening scent. Its smoky, resinous character and dark leathery profile are better suited for nights out, formal events, or quiet leisure time in the cooler months rather than casual daytime use.
Is this a traditional "pretty" floral perfume?+−
No. While it contains jasmine and lotus, the florals are submerged in deep suede, incense, and saffron. It is a leathery and smoky fragrance first, with the flowers serving to soften the edges rather than taking center stage.
How does the suede note compare to standard leather notes?+−
Unlike sharp or synthetic leather notes, the suede in Anubis is described as having a textured, slightly fuzzy, and buttery quality. It is combined with labdanum and frankincense to create a dark, "burnt" effect that feels more organic than animalic.
Can this fragrance be worn year-round?+−
Most enthusiasts advise against wearing Anubis in the summer heat, as the resinous and smoky accords can become stifling. It performs best in fall and winter when the crisp air allows the complex layers of spice and smoke to unfold slowly.
