Sphinx Fragrances Black Anubis is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2022. Black Anubis opens with Grapefruit, Saffron, and Artemisia, settles into a heart of Rose and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Leather, Amber, Cedar, and Oud. Sphinx Fragrances's Black Anubis carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

Black Anubis is a chameleon, blending elements of popular scents but carving its own path with a complex sweet-woody profile. It's a divisive one - some adore its unique twist, others find it too sour or struggle to smell it at all. Not for a blind buy.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Best Seasons

Spring Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal

Its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage make it suitable for various settings, though it might be too prominent for a very conservative office. The sophisticated blend of notes makes it an excellent choice for dates, casual outings, and formal events, with its warmth and depth lending itself well to special occasions.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Black Anubis opens with a bright, juicy grapefruit, softened by the warm, slightly earthy spice of saffron and a hint of green artemisia. As it settles, a jammy rose emerges, beautifully intertwined with a subtly warm nutmeg. The base anchors the fragrance with rich leather and deep oud, complemented by the creamy sweetness of tonka bean, amber, and a dry cedar finish. It's a journey from fruity brightness to a sophisticated, woody depth.
