Q: What is Sample Sale stock?
A: Sample Sale stock can be identified online by the “Sample Sale” label on the product listing. If a product does not have this label, it is not Sample Sale stock.

Sample Sale products are offered at a discount due to one or more of the following reasons:
- Damaged outer box
- Tester packaging (perfume packaged in a plain tester box)
- Old retail stickers or barcodes on the box or cellophane
- Wrong name printed on the perfume bottle (the fragrance listed online reflects the perfume inside the bottle)
- Damaged print on the bottle
- Scratches on the cap
- No cellophane
- Marks on the outer box
- No notecard inside the box
- Mismatched boxes and perfume
- Sediment or discolouration of the perfume — this does not affect the fragrance and is a natural reaction between some ingredients

"It’s a penetrating, tobacco-heavy fragrance that feels like brushing shoulders with liquors and smoked-out conversations during the roaring twenties."
"The name might suggest you've left your coat at the door, but the star anise, cacao and tobacco aroma reminds us of that cozy feeling of being wrapped up in (an extremely chic) one."
"Abel’s Coat Check is a dream for spice lovers; green cassis, star anise, and salted coffee meet sultry cocoa and warm tobacco."

Coat Check FAQ's

Is Coat Check the same as Black Anise?

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.

Why did you change the name from Black Anise to Coat Check?

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.

Has the scent formula changed?

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.

Will Coat Check smell stronger or different on me?

You may notice the scent itself is smokier. You may also notice it lasts longer thanks to the increase in perfume concentration.

Can I still get Black Anise?

Black Anise will transition fully into Coat Check, refined for even better wear and performance.
