Black Anubis — the Eastern character of Sphinx Fragrances
Black Anubis by Sphinx Fragrances is a rich unisex fragrance released in 2022.
The composition is crafted in perfume concentration, or extrait, so it smells dense and expressive, making it ideal for those who enjoy distinctive fragrances with character.
This perfume reflects the aesthetic of a young brand founded in New York in 2022.
Sphinx Fragrances combines a modern American perspective on niche perfumery with striking Eastern styling, while Black Anubis vividly demonstrates the brand's interest in deep spicy and woody accords.
Fragrance pyramid and development
The introduction to Black Anubis begins with a contrasting combination of bitter-fresh grapefruit, dry wormwood and spicy saffron.
The opening is energetic, cool and slightly bitter, allowing the fragrance to stand out immediately rather than come across as an ordinary sweet oriental perfume.
As it develops, nutmeg emerges at the heart, adding a warm spicy facet to the composition.
The rose here does not smell like a light romantic flower, but rather like a dark, noble nuance that softens the dryness of the spices and connects the fresh opening with the rich base.
The final stage of Black Anubis is built around amber, cedar, oud and tonka bean.
The woody notes give the fragrance depth and texture, the amber accord creates a warm glow, and tonka adds a soft, slightly sweet nuance.
As a result, the fragrance leaves a dense, long-lasting impression with a pronounced Eastern character.
Character, sillage and wearability
Black Anubis is positioned as a unisex fragrance and unfolds equally naturally on both women's and men's skin.
Its style is dark, spicy, woody and confident; it is a choice for those who prefer not to blend into their surroundings, but to create a distinctive scented space around themselves.
The fragrance has very strong sillage, so it is best applied with care.
For application to the skin, start with a single spray, assess how it develops and add another if needed; on clothing, it is better to apply a minimal amount from a distance, bearing in mind the extrait's longevity and the richness of the base.
The fragrance is especially suitable for cool weather, evenings, formal occasions or going out when you want to emphasize your individuality.
Black Anubis can also smell striking in warm weather, but it calls for a more restrained application so that its spicy-amber sillage remains comfortable.
Who will enjoy Black Anubis
This perfume will appeal to fans of oriental, spicy and woody compositions with a noticeable presence of oud, amber and spices.
It is suited to experienced niche fragrance enthusiasts looking not for universal freshness, but for a rich perfume with a dramatic mood and strong projection.
In terms of atmosphere, Black Anubis can be compared with Penhaligon's Halfeti: both fragrances may appeal to lovers of dark oriental compositions with spicy and woody nuances.
At the same time, Black Anubis emphasizes the contrast between grapefruit, wormwood and saffron, gradually transitioning into a warm oud-amber character.
