This is very incensey resinous woody fragrance that performs very moderately in all areas. There is a cannabis smell but it blends in wonderfully with the incense vibe. Spring and Fall are the ideal time for this, maybe even a cool summer evening. Dressed down to casual wear would suit this fragrance. Has a very alluring smell that your woman/partner will enjoy.
I like it very much.
Update: 8 hrs and I still get whiffs.

It smells very much like the synthectic blend of Ajmal PURPLE OUDH WOOD. Nothing any groundbreaking, But like the smell.

The sticker on my bottle is white, not black as shown on this picture. It smells just like Black Afgano, dark, mysterious and smoky. However, it is not as potent as Black Afgano. I sprayed one spray on my arm 2 hours ago and I can barely smell it unless I lift my arm close to my nose. Perhaps it is not the best weather to use this one now as it is approximately 24 degree Celsius.

For me, a like but not a love. It does not smell like weed. It also has a harsh chemical smell when you first apply it, although this only lasts a few minutes. After that, it’s a full blast of woody, oudy, resin for 8 to 12 hours. While listed as unisex, I would consider this to be primarily a masculine scent. I also would not recommend this to anyone just starting out on their fragrance journey. This is a scent you have to work your way up to.
I’ve never owned Black Afgano, so I won’t make any comparisons here. But I’ve tried several other Alexandria clones via their sample pack and they’ve all come very close to matching scents I have owned.

This is hands down one of the best fragrances I’ve ever worn. It doesn’t smell like weed. To me, it is woody with a touch of sweetness and has this pungent (in a good way) scent that is sharp from up close but gives off a really unique and pleasant aroma. I’ve only worn it on cool nights, but I hope it is just as pleasant during warmer nights. Performance is crazy good; stays on skin throughout the night and into the next morning. On clothes…forever until washed. I’m curious to sample Black Afgano just to see how close they really are.
I’ve sampled about a dozen of Alexandria’s perfumes and I’ll give them about 75% success rate. Black Tie Affair is my second favorite from this house. A couple others need more work, IMO.

This is virtually an EXACT interpretation of Black Afgano. I am astonished. It really does capture everything great about BA – the smokiness, the resins, the oud and …..hash??. At four times cheaper this is an excellent alternative. It performs the same too.
This is even closer than the very excellent oil by perfume parlour,and like that one, the only real difference I get is that this is slightly sweeter – which for me, actually makes it smell better than BA!.
This is highly recommended if price is an issue -£1 per ml v £4 per ml – so a very safe cheaper buy if you like Black Afgano!
Very well done Alexandria fragrances.
Edit: I wonder whether the closeness of the Perfume Parlour and Anubis Kiss to each other hints at a reformulation of Black Afgano – that they are based on an older version?. I have smelt BA many times, but only today received my first bottle from a dear friend as an early Valentines gift. She was so excited to give it to me and I to try it -and I am surprised how slightly diluted it seems compared to this and the Perfume parlour oil.
Those two have a sweetness in the opening that the real BA has, but not quite as amped up in either of those clones. And they are stronger. I have only sprayed the BA once and have just opened the bottle, so Iwill give it a week and try again – but seeing as apparently BA is a beast and one or two sprays is all you need, I am shocked how weak this seems. Extrait parfum?? It is real – bought from Liberties in London.
Has there been a reformulation of BA ???
I don’t have the heart to tell her any of this considering how excited she was and how much she paid for this – so I will probably wear the Alexandria and tell her that is what she bought. Wow. Anyone that says these clones have no place – take heed!

There’s not much to say except that this is an amazing clone of the legendary Black Afgano.
If BA’s your kinda perfume (like me) then buy this without hesitation!

This is one of the most magical scent I have ever smelt, this fragrance instantly reminded me of a dark cognac liquor that’s only served from the top shelf…if this was inspired by the Nasomoto Black Afgano when compared especially to the price I would highly recommend Anubis Kiss… this is the first fragrance I had ever worn and I cannot spray more than 3 sprays or else it would be nuclear… I wore this fragrance to work one day and even after washing the shirt the scent was still protecting heavily, persons love and hate this fragrance due to its potency. I so love this one from the house of Alexandria Fragrances

Anubis Kiss was my first purchase from Alexandria and let me tell you I was hooked after receiving it. The quality of this juice was on par with nasomato afghano and last for hours. I get compliments with this the ladies love it.9.5/10 for me.Alexandria pays attention to detail and the perfumer Hany is passionate about his work and it shows!

This is ATOMIC! When I received this in the mail I was so excited to see if all the hype was true and I def wasn’t disappointed. Anubis Kiss starts out with a strong, burnt cannabis smell to it. It smells like the tar resins left after it had been lit. It is very woodsy, fark, and to me bas a sharp vetiver type smell to it. It kind of reminds me of Lailique Encre Noir. I slightly squeezed the atomizer and allowed a drop to hit both of my arms, and my God it lit up the whole room. Def not a blind but but it is very intriqing and alluring. I’ve gotten a few good compliments on it so far. It’s def a fall/ winter type fragrance. It’s a high quality frag if you can’t afford Black Afghano. It takes no more that 2 sprays max and it’s going to project 3ft plus and last for data on the clothing.

Okay, it smells like hash in the opening. Yes. But once you get past that, it’s a woody, aromatic masterpiece. I wore it to work last week (hesitantly) and got nothing but great feedback.
It smells like nothing anyone else is wearing. Daring, dark, sensual, earthy. It’s amazing. And it lasts FOREVER if you spray it on clothes. Longevity is beyond beast and projection is great. Get past the “it makes you smell like weed” thing, on dry down, it smells like nothing else on the market.
