Vertus ANKA is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024. ANKA opens with Grapefruit, Saffron, and Peach, settles into a heart of Carrot Seeds, Cistus Incanus, Clove, and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, Oakmoss, and Fir Resin. Vertus's ANKA carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

Prepare for impact. ANKA is a divisive beast, a love-it-or-hate-it scent that screams 'Ganymede, but make it fruity and even more potent'. It's not for the faint of heart, but those who 'get it' will rave about its unique, industrial-peach charm.

ANKA's phenomenal, 'nuke-like' projection and longevity make it unsuitable for office wear, where it might overwhelm. It excels on a date or for casual outings where making a bold statement is desired, but its unconventional profile might be too 'weird' for traditional formal events.

About

ANKA opens with an unusual, almost metallic tang, swiftly followed by a 'macho peach' and a swirl of saffron that lends it a latex-like quality. As it evolves, warm, spicy clove and nutmeg blend with earthy carrot seeds, creating a complex, almost concrete-like mineral accord. The drydown settles into a comforting, yet still assertive, blend of fir resin, creamy sandalwood, and rich amber, grounded by a hint of oakmoss.
