Nasheet

#382 in my "Tour de Fragrance" I purchased two Nishane frags back in July. Ani and Hacivat. I haven't opened the Hacivat yet, but I tried out the Ani immediately and it was love at first sniff. I actually purchased the Nasheet at about the same time, but had no idea it was hyped as a dupe of Ani, and following the standard advice on Middle Eastern frags, I left it on the shelf for a few months, just unboxed it last week, and tried it for the first time today. I immediately got out the Ani and did a side-by-side to see if Nasheet was really a dupe of Ani as I had forgotten what Ani smells like. It's not remotely an Ani dupe, missing a bunch of notes, so I'm not kicking myself for having dropped $100+ for 50 ml of Ani. Which by the way is a fantastic scent! That out of the way, Nasheet is a fine fragrance in its own right and deserves your interest. If you like Nutmeg, which I do, you'll like this. But it's a boatload of nutmeg, so I'd start with a single spritz. I certainly didn't need more. Most of the Lattafa scents I've trialed (this is the 23rd), all sold as EDPs, but about half have been EDTs in performance. I'd say this is solidly an EDP, but, if you're looking for the performance of Ani, few scents offer that. In fact I would only put MFK Grand Soir and Akro Bake on the same level as Nishane Ani as far as endurance, as all three are solid skin scents for 24 hours. This scent easily made to lunch and beyond, eight hours of skin scent till I showered , which I consider excellent, with moderate sillage for about 2. The fact that one or two people get poor performance from any scent is not a deal breaker for me. If you buy a lot of fragrances, and this year I've purchased at least 550, you will on occasion get a poor quality bottle. I've had that happen with a wide variety of fragrances from different houses high and low. With an estimated 600 million bottles produced each year you have to expect quality control to fail sooner or later. But this bottle of Nasheet is a solidly strong fragrance, better than a lot of EDPs I've gotten from non-Middle Eastern producers, and I'd gladly buy it again. At a delightful $17 bucks I think it's really, really underpriced. And it's not like you're risking the crown jewels with a blind buy here.

I am really fascinated by note pyramid of Ani and I cannot really afford myself a bottle so been looking for a dupe for a long time. Recently got to try Nasheet and I am happy with how it smells. I get sort of minty vanilla feel in the opening, almost passing off as peppermint note, which is exactly what i would believe if sniffing blind. Develops beautifully with a slight citrusy zesty and fresh spicy accords, keeping that vanilla backbone. That being said, my biggest gripe with this rather lovely fragrance is the performance. This may just be the weakest Lattafa I have tried yet and I own a dozen atleast. It just vanished in less than an hour, which I believe was me going nose-blind to it, but down 3-4 hours I could faintly smell it back, but it was as weak as a fragrance could ever be. I do not think there is any projection whatsoever past that 45 mins to an hour at start. I would still buy a full bottle anyway becuase I adore how this smells, will keep it for maceration and update the review if the performance miraculously improves. UPDATE: I take back my words, this is definitely not the weakest Lattafa, it is quite decent in performance, tried again and it did last on my skin for 5-6 hours and I could smell it on my shirt the next day, albeit softly. Granted its not the best Ani clone in terms of performance, but I prefer this in terms of smell, maybe this also makes it usable in a little warmer weather since I freaking love this DNA. I think given time it would be a decent average or slightly above average performer.

Have this fragrance for about 2 months now... I think it needs more time to macerate... The main thing that annoys me about this is that it lasts a long time, but doesn't project at all... moreover, if you spray it around your neck or on your chest - you go nose blind to it... Had this on my hand and went into a fragrance store to try Ani side by side with it... Ani is different in the opening, but as it dries down they smell the same.. I am talking about smelling them back and forth and having a hard time telling them apart.. Ani projects more - that's a fact.. The thing is that if I overspray this (14 sprays and up) I can get a nice scent cloud around me.. Another thing is that if you overspray this you will leave a wonderful scent train behind you... Even with the slight performance issues, I don't think it is worth buying the real deal because the smell with this one is very close (especially if you leave it for a few weeks to macerate after the first sprays) - here Ani is about 250$/100ml and Nasheet is about 20$/100ml I even got a back-up bottle of this... I will get back with some new mentions after a few months because I think this will be a good scent event on summer nights Hope this helps! Cheers!

Nasheet is a unisex fragrance that slightly leans masculine. This is a vanilla that is spicy, woody and aromatic. Nasheet opens with a prominent ginger accord which makes it zingy. As it dries down,vanilla becomes more present and the nutmeg makes an appearance. The vanilla in this fragrance has that same herbal like smell that is present in Guess Seductive Noir!!! At this point it stays linear. If you are a Jamaican, you can get an idea of what it smells like by imagining a creamy porridge with some ginger added in. Lasting power could be better but I layer this with a fragrance oil inspired by Ani and that seems to extend the wear significantly. This is a love for me! I live in the tropics and I have no problem wearing this in the heat as it's not too sweet. I have never sampled Nishane Ani before so unfortunately I'm not able to compare it to that but the fragrance oil dupe smells the same. Update 11/21/2024: This has gotten sweeter, smoother and less aromatic. I love this even more now ☺️

Don't trust the note breakdown of a clone fragrance because it could be misleading, like this one, just figure out what fragrance this cloning of. I've never smell Ani before but I do get the spicy citrusy opening and the sweetness vanilla dry down, like everyone described Ani. On it's own, it's a great fragrance, especially considering how cheap it is (I pay $15 for a 100ml size bottle), comparing it to Ani which could go up to $200+ for a 100ml size bottle. In terms of the performance, this last 6-7 hours on my skin with moderate projection, which is okay. Actually it isn't great, considering this is a sweeter DNA but, it's not bad either considering the price and the smells. But because it isn't beastly performed fragrance, you could possibly wear this on the hotter weather because some people actually like to rock sweet fragrance on the hotter day, like me. Overall, great stuff especially for the price.

I'm seriously obsessed with this fragrance! It immediately reminded me of Meharées L'Erbolario, which is also one of my favorites. I got a travel spray of Ani but it broke in the mail :( But the box smelled amazing!) I'm just waiting for the replacement to get a full wear. I also got Spectre Ghost and Satwaa. Ghost is also very close to Nasheet (and Ani once I give it a full wear to compare). Satwaa has a bit of a cologne smell when first sprayed. I'm loving all of these at the moment. I've been testing all of these for longevity but in the North East it has been so dry inside with this winter weather absolutely nothing is sticking to me no matter what I do to extend a fragrance. So I'll be testing as the weather changes. It's a warm, comforting spicy scent and I immediately thought it smelled more expensive than it is.

Finally, it’s on Fragrantica. I’ve had a hit and miss relationship with Lattafa recently (more so with their Maison Alhambra TF line), but I’ll say this - This is probably the closest clone I’ve had the pleasure of wearing. It’s almost a dead ringer for Nishane’s Ani. Warm, intoxicating woods, resins & vanilla on a budget. Fantastically blended. Decent projection (4-5 sprays = more than arms length, 6+ is a room filler). Easily a good 7-8 hours off a handful. Yes, it’s nowhere near as potent as Ani and it doesn’t quite have the depth with the lack of pachouli, but I’m sure there’s vanilla in Nasheet that isn’t listed. For $59AUD, you won’t be disappointed. This is a steal. In Lattafa’s top 5, IMO. Back up bottle worthy, too.

As I taking it out from the box, the first spray is very citrus heavy, it's like a synthetic scented bug killer spray... But I know I should not be afraid and let myself fooled by first impression, this is an Arabic fragrance, so I let it calm down, and there it is, a pleasant citric sandalwood appears. The smokiness is faint, but this also needs maceration to shine in it's best light. Time will tell. It's nothing I ever haved before, I can't stop sniffing my hand. I'm so used to the flowers and fruits and gourmand, but this is on another level. A mature, smooth, kinda outdoorsy, walk in the forest and sitting by the campfire type of scent. Perfectly unisex!! I come back with the performance and maceration updates later.

Nasheet has been sitting in my collection for a while. I got it in the winter and thought that it was a "weak", timid perfume. I stuck it in the back and now pulled it out in the middle of summer. I don't know if it's maceration or "the right season" but this perfume is gorgeous in 85-90F weather. Feels like a lemony vanilla summer perfume. Blooms so much more in this temperature. Now, I also found Guerlain Shalimar Souffle (and Intense) to be better in spring/summer. Similar vibes but not a dupe. I might be unusual but if you feel the same, you might also enjoy Nasheet in the summer. The longevity is around 4-6hrs with soft projection.

This smells so damn good! Creamy spicy, woody, typically earthy patchouli. I also smell cardamom and nutmeg with the creaminess of sandalwood. The frankincense here is slightly sweet. I don’t know Ani, never smelled it, but I guess I’m pretty satisfied with Nasheet at the moment. Edit: after wearing it for a couple of times, I realized that Nasheet reminds me of Angel and its flanker Angel Muse, the same earthy woody patchouli tone. *After owning it for one year and wearing it occasionally, I realized there is this citrusy (more like bergamot) sensation in the beginning, which I don’t mind.

Beautiful, nuanced, deepened vanilla with woods, soft spices and slight smoke. Quite a compliment magnet crowd pleaser, while still feels distinct and rather luxurious. Satisfies the Ani craving perfectly. After 12 hours, I still enjoy traces of it when my hair moves. Nasheet is one of my favourite blind buys of the year, it is just so rewarding. 💛 Update: Its sillage is actually nuclear, not just it fills a room, but someone in a huge night club tracked me down to ask me what this expensive cake incense smell is on me, because it actually still lingers on the other dancefloor. Damn. o_O'

I have been playing with this for a few days and so far so good. I get about 9 hours of wear from my bottle, but mine was produced 3/2023! So it had been sitting for 18 months before I received it, so I think it explains the longevity. It’s an interesting lemony yet, not overly sweet with ginger that spices it up just a little, the ginger is well rounded and not overpowering. Imagine a vanilla cookie with a lil lemon zest and ginger, so pretty. I was doing my mom’s hair and she could smell me from the start until we finished and she loved it told me it smells edible. 100% would recommend

First Lattafa I ever bought (for like 20 bucks) and the best one in my opinion. I can no longer handle most Lattafa perfumes as I find them too synthetic but this smells much more high quality and refined. It is complex and rich and long-lasting. I still find it super similar to Nishane Ani, which I also own, but this one has some different incense and woody nuances which I enjoy as well. That being said I'm saying this after having the bottle for over a year, so this might be down to the maturation period. Still you can't beat this for the price and quality.

This is gonna be MAGICAL this fall/winter! I am a 58 year old woman and I own over 300 fragrances. I enjoy woods/ouds n smoke in the fall and winter. Santal 33, Angel's Share, Sheik, Oud Mood, By the Fireplace. This is in that smokey spicey realm. I didn't like this one first spray. It reminded me of Robitussin cough syrup. But, once it dried, it took on a whole other scent. I can't wait to revisit this in 5 or 6 months in the fall/winter. (I don't wear this type of scent in the spring or summer.) I like this one. It'll smell sexy on My Hunkband as well!!😜

Believe the hype (if there ever was any) on this fragrance. One of Lattafa's best!! I don't know for sure why it's not listed, but I get like a Sicilian lemon note in this. Maybe it's an aspect of the frankincense. These ingredients are blended perfectly together. Simple...very few...but so alluring & mesmerizing. The soft creamy warmth of the cashmeran, and delicate sandalwood makes this scent delicious. Adding in the frankincense for a bit of brightness...and voila!, nose-gasm all day. Perfectly unisex. Get your nose on this one guys & gals!!!

I’ve owned Nasheet for several months now and it’s a beauty. Strong dupe for Ani and so good I actually want to buy Ani now. It’s macerated for almost 3 months now. This is a scent people may go nose blind to! It lasts a good 4-6 hours on my clothes but I go nose blind to it fairly quickly, sometime after the first half hour. I keep catching occasional whiffs of it though. YT reviewers have noted that they go nose blind to this scent as well, it’s not particular to me, similar to what happens with BR540. It’s still there.

Have had Nasheet since launch, used very little of it for nearly 2 years. It's mainly been sitting in my cupboard. However, every so often I would just spray this on my hand, and it has become better and better and better. Was in a Niche perfumery store a few weeks back, and sniffed Ani again. And Nasheet is literally so close to the OG. While Ani exudes a bit more quality, nobody will really know the difference, if they've never smelled the Nishane.

This is a truly beautiful perfume. It reminds me so strongly of balmy afternoons spent hanging out in the woods at little psytrance festivals. Incense is burning somewhere not too far off, the trees are fragrant, and everything and everyone is chill and beautiful. Completely unisex. Strong to moderate sillage from 4 sprays over 3 hours or so, then moderate to skin scent very slowly over the rest of the wear time. 8 to 10h longevity.

I've never smelled Ani. A couple of years ago I was looking for something similar to Material by Amouage. I couldn't find anything, so I finally caved and bought the real thing. This lattaffa scent didn't exist then, so I don't have to feel bad. But if you are looking for something to scratch that Material itch-look no further. This is lovely and very similar.

I have Ani and this is a very good dupe. The performance sucked at first, it last 30 mins max. And I had to respray throughout the day. Got frustrated and just left it be for about a month. So after macerating for a month, it's awesome. Lasts for more than 6 hours. Super happy with this. Now I can spray it everyday with wild abandon

Been layering this with Afnan Turathi Blue. It is now a compliment getter at work: Anybody for a piece of white cake and orange soda? Don't mind my hamster cage in the corner! Update: This is now a daily, go-to layering tool. The resins, old world vanilla and nutmeg compliment just about everything. Back up bottle needed.

This is going to be gorgeous for fall/winter. I got a sample of this from a swap and I'm buying a bottle asap. It is sweet spicy woody goodness. On my skin it starts with tangy nutmeg, almost citrus. After a few minutes I'm getting cola which then starts to get woody. This is a really great fragrance at the price point.

This is a 1 to 1 clone of Nishane Ani. So ginger, cardamom, and vanilla is some of you'll get with this. Scent wise, it's impressive, but sticks to skin for 4 to 5 hours max, with very intimate projection. Whatever your spray routine is, triple it with this fragrance to get a proper wearing experience

I had Nishane Ani as a sample but was hesitant to buy a full size because I am cutting down my costs on fragrances. I think I have found a great alternative. It is a little bit spicier but smells so close. Ani is an unique scent so is nasheet. Great Buy

No vanilla in the notes listed here, which match the notes on the Lattafa website, but I get vanilla and nutmeg. Excellent layered with Al Rehab Choco Musk, really intriguing blend of nutmeg and chocolate and the resins that give a cozy vanilla feel.

Had random women passing me turn around to smell what is going on. Sweet light cake shop type of vibe. Very niche, extremely unique. Neeb said it smells like Nishane Ani, which in turn is a cousin of Nasamoto's Pardon. so I consider those covered.

I am so glad I bought this! I have a lot of perfume, A LOT! And this is probably my best blind buy... warm, spicy, and rich, without being too heavy! Perfect for the holiday season, I feel like I’m a gingerbread cookie about to go on a date!

For the price, it's a great fragrance. Even if you have never smelled Nishane Ani, you will enjoy this to some extent. I'm not sure why, or remember which one, but this also reminds me of one of the Tom Ford fragrances

Woody, frankincense and Creamy Vanilla drydown. I disliked it at first 2 weeks of testing my blind buy I got more attracted to the scent and the more I liked to loving the scent. Damn this one is really good.

Love this fragrance now. What a gem! The dry down is stunning. I didn't like it at first but I couldn't stop smelling the box I sprayed the fragrance in. The dry down is spectacular. Totally unisex now IMO.

This remind's me so much of being in the same family as L de Lolita. Beautiful citrus & spices that's warm with amber and vanilla. Feel's like a holiday fragrance. I absolutely love this.

For the price I think this one is great. It smells alot more expensive than it is. I find myself reaching for it in fall and winter. I think its a great fragrence given its price point.

Such a gorgeous scent but doesn't last long. I'll keep the bottle in my closet for some time to see if maceration will improve it's longevity. Not bad at all for the low price.

Very close to ani to my nose. I think people who find the longevity to be atrocious are just getting nose blind, although admittedly the longevity is not amazing, just decent.

I have absolutely fallen in love with this scent longevity lasts on me over 8hrs. Such a beautiful, deep woody, not super masculine. Definitely best warn in cooler weather.

This is the smoky epic frankincense I have been craving. There is a kiss of Dior addict. This is addict light, but at the price point.. go bananas. Looove her

What a luxurious scent for $20. I smell like a queen, just have to dress like one to wear this one😂 Definitely Winter night 🌙 for partying.

Absolutely wonderful fragrance. You will get noticed with this. I have had many strangers ask me what I am wearing with this.

Take this bottle with you, wherever you’re going. Spray every half an hour with a minimum of 10sprays. And you will be good 🥲

It is very beautiful,starts lemony orangy and turns to absolutely beautiful creamy vanilla. Really positively surprised.

Lemony minty vanilla goodness. With spices. Love at first sniff. All year round vanilla, complex but very wearable.

this is so so wonderful. Sweet gingery and aromatic woody scent. I’m surprised the ginger note is not listed

Beautiful woody fragrance. Best clone I have bought in a long time

Got my bottle about a month ago, sprayed it and put it away to let mature a bit and brought i back out today and after 4-5 spray i almost instantly felt this was very familiar to me. I sniffed my arm and i was immediately reminded of some of my patchouli/cacao/vanilla scents and after some digging, reading, spraying and sniffing i came to the conclusion of this beeing very similar to Yves Rocher Nouveau Genre which basically is a very heavy chocolate type of patchouli and has vanillic sweetness from tonka. Nasheet has not at all that heavy patch and is sweeter but the overall impression is very similar with woods in the background and deep vanilla. Also Perris Patchouli Nosy Bee and Mugler Angel Muse is in the same territory but much heavier on the patch. Nasheet is a very pleasant scent but it's possible that i try to layer it with some of the mentioned patchoulis to amp sweetness/deepth...even if i usually don't layer scents.

I do enjoy this one, although I can't imagine it being similar to ani based off the notes. It opens with a blast of nutmeg, which reminds me of medicinal oils. The drydown is a gorgeous creamy wood and amber with toned down nutmeg, pretty similar to the opening of Milk+, but less sweet. The drydown is perfectly unisex, although the opening phase leans masculine. It's one to enjoy by yourself or someone to cuddle with, because it hardly projects. Longevity isn't bad though. Would be the perfect cozy skin scent if the opening wasn't so heavy on nutmeg. Edit: I let it sit for a couple of months and am testing it next to Ani now. Ani is a bit more sweet and layered, but nasheet could definitely be mistaken for ani. Sillage and longevity are about the same. The nutmeg has calmed down, and I'm getting velvety spiced lemon cake on a smokey, resinous base. It's one of the rare cosy scents that can be worn in hot weather.

Very nice and fresh smell. It really makes me feel like I'm spraying the forest on my skin. I love the gentle vanilla smell I get after the dry down but I have a love-hate relationship with this main kind of pine(?) smell I get that is in the forefront. On one hand, it feels like it gives me really nice memories and scenarios, on the other hand it's a bit too sharp for my taste that I find slightly off putting. It however smells almost 1:1 to some specific smell I've smelt before in nature. If it wasn't for that I would be all over this fragrance. I still love it but not sure if I would buy a full bottle. However, if I had one i would definitely use it all up. Maybe after some time my sample might change and I'll like it even more, but even with that said it is an absolutely amazing naturey scent. 7.5/10

2 disclaimers for my review. I only have 2 ml vial and I have never smelled Nishane fragrances. This is a really nice gentle and spicy fragrance. It's smells the same on me from intial spray to what I smell on my clothes a day later. I get vanilla, sandalwood and incense. It projects at a foot out for the first hour and I can smell it on myself 6 hours later and after changing shirts so performs really well on me. For my tastes and at this price, I prefer Z&G This is Him which has more spice, citrus and woods (less focus on incense). Nasheet also keeps reminding me of MA Kismet, also under Lattafa, but I prefer Kismet due to the additional floral and green notes which balance out the incensy vibe. If those fragrances are too harsh/dark for you, this may be a good option.

when u spray Ani initially u'll be thinking, no way Nasheet is close to this. Ani has character, oomph, and that plush effect from Top to middle then bottom. But Nasheet is pretty linear, doesn't change much and it only resembles Ani's dry down. I'm disappointed with the longevity. i need to re-spray every 2-3 hr if I want to smell my scent bubble. the gorgeous and solid bottle is masculine leaning but the scent is unisex as it gets softer after the initial spray. i'm not regretting my purchase and it's quite affordable. i just wished it lasts a little longer. the bottle is HEAVY so decanting can be a solution. totally recommend this if u like Ani DNA.

It lacks the sweetness I like in this type of fragrance and the spices take all the protagonism making it masculine leaning to my nose. It gets creamier and softer in the dry down though. Well blended and a good perfume overall. 2 months later it has changed. Now is sweeter and more balanced. It still has a very prominent ginger/spicy opening but I found it quite unisex this time. Edit: I bought a decant of Satwa by Ard Al Zaafaran and I stick with Nasheet. Being the first one closer to the real thing, Nasheet adds the perfect amount of sweetness to it.

Nose Note #151 Haven't tried the OG. This smells very special, haven't had anything alike. Don't know if the notes are right, but this smells like lemon tart big time. Some sweet medicine + lemon tart. At first spray you think this is going to be heavy, but then it withers so quickly and you don't even get much sillage. I would say performance is just average. Very memorable smell - I cherish that a lot Great price But I didn't fall in love with it. Maybe not yet.
