Anka Kus Parfum

Anka Kus Parfum is an independent niche fragrance house founded by perfumer Ali Erkekli in Melbourne. The brand takes its name from the mythical Phoenix (“Anka Kuş” in Turkish folklore), symbolizing rebirth, transformation, and artistic reinvention. The house is known for creating highly artistic, story-driven fragrances that blend history, travel, literature, faith, film, and vintage aesthetics into “olfactive poetry.” Rather than following mainstream trends, Anka Kuş focuses on bold, emotional, and unconventional compositions using high-quality naturals and absolutes sourced from around the world. One of the defining characteristics of the brand is its strong artistic identity. Every fragrance is designed as a narrative experience, often accompanied by hand-drawn vintage-inspired label artwork created by the founder and digitally refined with his son. This gives the brand a collectible, artisan feel highly appreciated by niche perfume collectors.
