Meet Black Anise on your own skin
Black Anise is a perfume from Abel. We do not have its notes on record, which is one more reason to let your own nose decide. Start with 2, 5 or 10 ml and give it a few days, so that the first impression is not the only one. Give it time to settle before you judge it. Notes on a list are a map, and what you notice on your own skin is the territory.

I really appreciate that I found a shop that has a wide range of authentic perfumes,fast delivery,great communication and very good prices. Thanks for everything!
On the skin
We have the name and the house of Black Anise, not its notes. Instead of copying a list from somewhere, we leave that part empty. Clothes hold a scent differently from skin, which makes a scarf or sleeve a useful second test. Do not judge it next to other perfumes on the same arm, as they blur each other.
For now, Abel Black Anise can only be asked for. The form on this page records your interest in this perfume, and we make no promise about timing. Your own nose gets used to a scent quickly, so ask someone near you what they notice.
For this sample, FragranceGems takes Black Anise from the original bottle and fills a glass spray vial with it. The label on the vial is ours. The smallest size covers a first impression, the largest gives you many wearings. Glass does not react with perfume, so what you smell is the perfume itself.
Testing it
For Abel Black Anise we hold no season or occasion data, so try it in more than one setting. Use it the way you would use a full bottle, on a normal day. Start light; you can always add a spray on the next wearing.
No audience is on record for Abel Black Anise, and a perfume does not check who wears it anyway. Anyone who reacts strongly to certain notes is wise to test on skin first. People who tire of scents quickly do well with small sizes.
A sample of Black Anise answers the two things that matter: whether you like it, and whether you still like it on the fifth wearing. What you get is a decant made by FragranceGems from the original bottle, with our label. The house is not involved and it is not an official brand sample.
What you receive
We start with a full bottle of the perfume. Nothing is diluted, mixed or added.
Filled by hand into a clean glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and closed straight after filling.
Our own label names the brand, the perfume, the concentration and the size.
A decant is not an official brand sample: no box, no original bottle, and we are not affiliated with the brands.

No. It is not an official brand sample. FragranceGems decants Black Anise from the original bottle into a glass spray vial and labels it; the house is not involved.
No note list is on record with us for Abel Black Anise, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.
Spray it on clean skin, do not rub, and check it after a few minutes, at midday and in the evening. Repeat that on a few different days before you decide about a bottle.
The brand
15 perfumes by Abel: that is our current list of samples from this house. Each one is decanted by FragranceGems from the original bottle into a glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and carries our own label. Abel belongs to the niche perfume samples on DecantGems. Wearing a perfume for a few days is the fair way to judge it, and that is what a decant is for.

Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
