Just Anabi opens with cherry and saffron, moving into smoke, leather and osmanthus before settling on vetiver, cedarwood, cypriol and musk. Fragrantica voters put longevity mostly in the moderate range (49%), with sillage split between moderate and strong. Seasons lean toward autumn and winter, and votes favour evening wear over day.
Just Anabi opens on cherry and saffron, an unusual pairing that reads fruity-spicy rather than sweet, with saffron's leathery, slightly medicinal edge cutting the cherry's sugar. The middle brings smoke, leather and osmanthus - osmanthus contributes a soft apricot-leather flavour that bridges the fruity top and the darker base. Underneath sits a woody, earthy foundation of vetiver, cedarwood, cypriol and musk, with cypriol in particular adding a smoky, slightly damp woodiness that reinforces the leather and smoke in the middle. The family reads as smoky woody with a fruity-spicy top, closer to leather territory than to a straightforward gourmand despite the cherry. What makes the pairing work is restraint on both ends: the cherry never turns syrupy because saffron keeps interrupting it, and the smoke-leather core never turns harsh because the fruit keeps softening it, so the composition sits in a fairly narrow, well-balanced middle ground rather than swinging hard toward either sweetness or darkness.
The opening is dominated by cherry and saffron, sharp and fruity with a spiced edge that fades within the first stretch of wear. As that lifts, smoke and leather step forward, with osmanthus adding a soft, slightly fruity leather note that keeps the transition from feeling harsh. In the base, vetiver, cedarwood and cypriol combine into a dry, smoky woodiness, with musk rounding the composition out on skin. By the later stages, cherry and saffron are mostly gone and what remains is a dark, smoky woody accord with only a faint fruity echo underneath. The middle-to-base handover is one of the more gradual parts of the wear - osmanthus lingers long enough to keep a trace of fruitiness present even once the vetiver and cedarwood have taken hold, so the finish never feels like a completely different fragrance from the opening.
Longevity votes on Fragrantica sit mostly in the moderate range (49% of 84 voters), with a further 26% calling it long lasting and smaller groups at either extreme. Sillage follows a similar pattern - 55% moderate, 31% strong - pointing to a scent that holds a noticeable but not overpowering presence through most of a wear rather than one that either vanishes or fills a room.
Season votes favour the cooler months, with autumn (39%) and winter (33%) well ahead of spring (18%) and summer (11%). That fits the smoky, leather-forward base, which suits cooler air better than heat.
Gender votes split widely, with just over half (55%) calling it unisex against smaller male and female groups on either side. FG lists Just Anabi as unisex accordingly, despite Fragrantica's own listing skewing female.
Fragrance World positions Just Anabi alongside Cherry Smoke by Tom Ford, another composition built on the same cherry-and-smoke pairing. The likeness sits in that shared fruity-smoky shape rather than in an identical note list.

Wide range of budget friendly to relatively high end priced perfume brands. Rayhan, Armaf, French Avenue, Brandy, Lattafa just to mention a few. They also sell a 10ml of any brand you like, good for testing before you commit to the whole bottle.
This store reminds me of my days in Dubai. Prices are competitive and most probably the best I have found on the market. Amazing perfumes!
Shahed was very welcoming and friendly… He was knowledgeable about the perfumes and took the time to understand what I was looking for before recommending a fragrance that suited my preferences perfectly.
What a good find! A place where you can smell all the Dubai perfumes. Monique assisted us and she was very helpful. Will see you soon!
Customer service 10/10. Tamzyn helped me she was very nice energetic and helpful… when I heard the price I had to take it. So very affordable in my opinion.
The quality of the fragrances is outstanding. The oils and perfumes are impressive and has longevity… I will definitely be returning and recommending this shop to others.
He was very helpful and friendly as I did not have a clue of what I wanted to get for my mom… It smells very nice. I got compliments at work… I would recommend people to go here.
