It's a good fit for wearers who like leather and smoke notes but want a fruity, less austere way into them, and the reliable moderate performance makes it an easy fragrance to wear day to day.

Just Anabi opens on cherry and saffron before turning smoky, with leather and osmanthus in the middle and a dry base of vetiver, cedarwood, cypriol and musk. Fragrantica's community rates longevity as moderate, and 55% of voters call the fragrance unisex.
Just Anabi opens on cherry and saffron, a fruity-spiced start with more warmth than sweetness thanks to the saffron. The saffron is doing a lot of work here — it keeps the cherry from reading as simple fruit syrup, giving the opening a slightly savoury, almost bread-like warmth before the smoke arrives. Through the middle it turns smoky and leathery, with osmanthus adding a soft apricot-tinged floral note that keeps the leather from reading harsh. The base settles into vetiver, cedarwood and cypriol, a dry, earthy woody accord, with musk smoothing the edges. The overall effect is a cherry-leather-wood fragrance that leans more smoky than fruity once it's had time to develop.
The cherry and saffron opening is bright but doesn't linger — within the first hour, smoke and leather start to take over, with osmanthus softening the transition rather than adding sweetness. By the middle stretch it's a smoky-leather fragrance with the fruit reduced to a background note. The dry-down brings vetiver, cedarwood and cypriol to the front, with musk rounding out a finish that's woody and slightly smoky rather than fruity — a fragrance that changes character noticeably between opening and base. It's a fragrance with a clear before-and-after: the first half hour is fruity and spiced, the rest of the wear is smoky and woody, with very little overlap between the two phases.
Fragrantica's community rates longevity as moderate for the largest group (49%), with just over a quarter calling it long lasting — expect solid but not exceptional staying power. Sillage sits mostly in the moderate range too, with a meaningful minority (31%) finding it strong. Value scores lean positive, with the majority calling it good to great value. Given how consistent those figures are, this is a fragrance that performs reliably rather than dramatically — a safe choice for someone who wants predictable wear time over a big, loud sillage.
Autumn is the top season among Fragrantica voters, with winter close behind and spring a reasonable third. Summer is the least chosen by a clear margin, which fits a fragrance built around smoke, leather and dry woods rather than anything fresh or citrus-led.
Fragrantica's own classification leans female, but the vote itself tells a different story: 55% of voters call it unisex, well ahead of any single gendered label. On that basis we list it as unisex — the cherry-leather-wood combination doesn't read as tied to one gender.
Buyers researching this profile often land on Tom Ford's Cherry Smoke. The comparison is in the shared cherry-over-smoke idea — Just Anabi follows a similar shape, opening fruity and settling into a smoky, woody base, though it's built from its own accord rather than a copy of the Tom Ford original.

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.
