The FragDNA review
Anubis Kiss captures Black Afgano’s darkness, but falls short on wear
FragDNA · compiled from 2 reviews and 4 short takes from Parfumo wearers · 22 October 2026
- Opening
- A dark, resin‑laden burst of herbal cannabis and green notes greets you immediately.
- Dry-down
- The heart settles into smoky wood, oud and incense with a lingering vetiver edge, noticeably less sweet than the original.
- Longevity
- Around 3‑4 hours on skin, longer on clothing
- Projection
- Moderate, a personal bubble rather than room‑filling
- Best for
- Cool evenings, fans of smoky‑herbal niche scents
- Most compared to
- Hades Elixir
Anubis Kiss arrives as a budget‑friendly answer to Nasomatto’s Black Afgano, priced at a fraction of the original. Its creators aim for a creative re‑interpretation rather than a straight copy, delivering a mysterious, resinous aura that appeals to those drawn to dark, smoky atmospheres without the hefty price tag.
The opening mirrors Black Afgano’s signature cannabis‑green accord and resinous depth, and many notice a close kinship to the niche Hades Elixir as well. However, the dry‑down leans more towards herbal and woody tones, lacking the original’s subtle sweetness. Projection is modest and the scent fades after a couple of hours, a point where reviewers diverge sharply.
Performance-wise the dupe offers a respectable bubble of scent for a few hours, making it suitable for close‑skin wear or intimate settings. Its value shines for collectors who crave the dark vibe without spending a small fortune, though anyone needing long‑lasting trail might look elsewhere. Ideal for evenings, colder months, and those who enjoy smoky‑herbal compositions.
The verdictAnubis Kiss captures the spirit of Black Afgano at a much lower price, though it loses some longevity and projection. It’s a solid, affordable option for fans of dark, resinous fragrances.

On paper
On paper, Anubis Kiss is a strong bet if you want Black Afgano for less.
Alexandria Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Black Afgano's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $110 per 100ml it costs 83% less than Black Afgano — the 8th cheapest of 10 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Alexandria Fragrances publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on cannabis and green notes, turns to resins, tobacco and coffee, and settles into oud, incense and vetiver. That is the brief Anubis Kiss is working from.
