Our verdict on Anubis: Acquired

Anubis is a divisive, hypnotic blend of ancient ritual and dark allure - you'll either love its intensely resinous, smoky suede embrace or find it challenging and unwearable. This ain't for the faint-hearted or those seeking generic crowd-pleasers.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent, dense accords and powerful sillage make it unsuitable for office wear, but perfect for a statement on a night out or a formal event. While unique, it's not a casual everyday scent unless you're embracing your inner deity at home.

About

Imagine stepping into an ancient, incense-filled temple. Anubis opens with deep, dry leather and smoky frankincense, quickly enriched by the warm, leathery nuances of suede and a mysterious, almost rubbery saffron. As the scent unfolds, a subtle touch of immortelle provides a hay-like warmth, while myrrh adds balsamic depth. Hints of lotus and jasmine weave through, though never overtly floral, creating a complex, dark, and utterly intoxicating aroma that lingers with a rich, amber glow.
