A Signature Fragrance
Suede
Suede is the velvety underbelly of leather, softened to a whisper. Its scent is powdery and slightly animalic, evoking images of luxury and comfort. While traditionally derived from tanned skins, modern perfumery often employs synthetic versions that capture its essence without the need for animal products.
Myrrh
Myrrh, harvested from the sap of trees native to Somalia and Yemen, exudes a complex aroma of balsamic sweetness intertwined with earthy, slightly smoky undertones. This resin has been valued for millennia not only for its fragrance but also for its medicinal properties, making it a cornerstone in both perfumery and ritual.
Olibanum
Derived from the Boswellia tree's sap, olibanum is a resinous incense with a complex scent profile. It exudes an aromatic and woody aroma, often accompanied by hints of citrus and spice that add depth to any fragrance. This versatile material has been used in rituals and perfumery for millennia, its earthy warmth evoking the essence of ancient trade routes.

Fragrances that pair well with Anubis
Suede Myrrh Tuberose
Anubis's suede, myrrh, and saffron amber gets a citrus-floral opening from Le Parfum Lumière's orange blossom, mandarin, and tuberose, with jasmine and amber shared between them tying the animalic sweetness to the white floral bouquet.
Spray Le Parfum Lumière first for the citrus-tuberose top, then layer Anubis over it so the suede and myrrh come through as a warmer base later.
