Scents of eras: how perfume reflects the spirit of the times
Every era has its own scent. Not literally, but in how it felt: what it wanted, what it feared, what...
2015: the world took its first breath of Anabasis Apoteker Tepe. The talent of Holladay Saltz is written all over this bottle. Concentration — eau de parfum: exactly what it needs to be.
Brand country — the United States, with its deep-rooted relationship with the fragrance industry. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The note pyramid of Anabasis is built as an expressive line of development, where notes flow with precision and warmth. The creative approach of Apoteker Tepe comes through in details that define the fragrance identity. Every decision feels deliberate, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de parfum keeps a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
Without strict stage separation the fragrance opens as a single chord with a soft-dry woody mood: Birch, Cedar, Frankincense, Mint, Pine, Shiso and musk. Here 7 notes sound as one integrated frame, forming clear woody framework that reads as cohesive from the start.
The heart and base are read as a continuous motion from lift to depth, which keeps the fragrance coherent.
The olfactory framework rests on these accords: Balsamic, Aromatic, Musc and Wood with each one in a clear role. The stylistic positioning is unisex, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.
At olfactory-group level the composition is built around Wood, Balsamic, Aromatic and Musk.
Taken together Anabasis sounds complete from start to finish — the start forms character, the central phase adds depth, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the scent structures best understood on skin.
