Anka Kus Parfum: Betwixt and Between Extrait
A Gothic Rose Masterpiece | Intense Longevity | Available at Level Perfume Dubai
Embrace the mystery of the shadows with Betwixt and Between Extrait by Anka Kus Parfum. Launched in 2020 and crafted by the artisanal nose Ali Erkekli, this fragrance is a poetic exploration of the space between light and dark. It is a "Noir" fragrance at its finest—centering on a deep, blood-red rose wrapped in wisps of smoke and vintage leather.
As a high-concentration Extrait, Betwixt and Between offers a rich, oily texture on the skin, ensuring a scent trail (sillage) that is both intimate and incredibly persistent, perfect for the discerning UAE fragrance collector.
The Allure of the "Rose-Leather" Contrast
Betwixt and Between is designed for those who find beauty in the unconventional. It is a sophisticated, genderless scent that balances floral grace with rugged, smoky depths.

-
Beast-Mode Performance: Engineered as an Extrait, this fragrance is built to last, clinging to skin and fabrics for 12+ hours—surviving even the most active Dubai social calendar.
-
Artisanal Rarity: Anka Kuş fragrances are produced in small batches, making this a rare find for those who want a signature scent that no one else is wearing.
