"Abel Black Anise captures the essence of mystery, perfect for evenings that stretch into the early hours. Its smoky amber base exudes warmth, while vibrant top notes of anise and spice add a certain dramatic factor. Inspired by the ambiance of dimly lit lounges and whispered conversations, this scent is both bold and refined."
"My favorite is their latest genderless release, Black Anise 100% Natural Eau de Parfum, the brand’s moodiest and smokiest scent yet."
"Darker, moodier and smokier than what many would typically associate with the botanical reputation of natural perfumery Abel’s newest eau de parfum, Black Anise, has been created to challenge expectations."
"Black Anise is a memorable scent that hits you first with the sweetness of star anise, blackcurrant and cacao, before mellowing to linger with a spicy, smoky amber and tobacco – an ideal combination for sultry winter nights."
"Black Anise challenges the notion that plant-based fragrances must be light and airy. Instead, it offers a rich, complex, and daring alternative that will appeal to conscious consumers looking for a scent that is both non-toxic and sexy.Sultry, sexy and non-toxic. This is a chic and nuanced option for the conscious consumer."

COAT CHECK FAQ's
Coat Check is the evolution of Black Anise. It carries the same bold, character you love, now with a longer-lasting formula. Working with our master perfumer, Isaac Sinclair, we reduced the fruit notes in Black Anise, so the scent’s smoky richness is more prominent. The result is a more complex, dynamic and darker scent.
We wanted the name to better reflect the fragrance’s mood and inspiration — the allure of night, the mix of smoke, spice, and velvet. “Coat Check” captures that sophisticated, after-dark energy while staying true to the original essence of Black Anise.
Yes. While the core ingredients and overall profile remain the same, we’ve refined the formula to be more edgy and dark, plus improved the staying power. You might notice Coat Check has less of the cassis notes than Black Anise — the sweetness is more subtle and comes from the tobacco notes alone. Coat Check has a more enduring presence on skin and fabric, due to the increase in perfume concentration.
You may notice the scent itself is smokier. You may also notice it lasts longer thanks to the increase in perfume concentration.
