Anubis

Anubis, from the Swedish brand Aswan, is a woody fragrance composed by Ibrahim Al Zoabi and released in 2025. Spice and citrus make up a large part of its character, with smaller fresh, aromatic and amber touches.

Bergamot and lemon verbena give a bright, lemony, slightly herbal start, and aldehydes add a clean, sparkling lift. Coriander and nutmeg bring warm, dry spice, while juniper berries and sage give a crisp, gin-like, aromatic freshness. Cypress adds a dark, resinous greenness. The base rests on woody notes, cashmeran and ambergris: cashmeran soft and musky-woody, ambergris a warm, salty, mineral glow.

Worn by anyone, it suits spring and autumn and works well for office days and smart casual evenings. It should appeal to those who like dry, spiced woods with an aromatic, citrus freshness, the kind of scent that feels composed and clean rather than sweet.
