Ani

Definitely Unisex and so sexy on men This iconic perfume is really well known and therefore widely reviewed so I try to concentrate those kind of things which I didn’t found so easily answers before I blind bought this. When I bought this almost three years ago my questions were: Is this too spicy and is vanilla anyway the strongest note? This is not too spicy but this is strong. This is rather a fresh and really unisex and unique take on vanilla and that I like because it’s not sugar like or any kind of ice cream vanilla which kind of I only want to wear while sleeping. In the opening green notes, pepper and ginger gives a magical touch for vanilla, which is dominant note from the beginning until the last tinge of this unique long lasting high quality perfume. Cardamom continues the spicy touch in the drydown and all those spicy notes you can smell well blended until the end -those just fade away a little bit. Other base notes start to shine and together with vanilla and fresh vibe from Patchouli they give a soft, pleasant, cozy and sophisticated experience of this juice. This scent lasts and lasts and it really won’t leave you alone. What comes to citruses, I don't think it contributes significantly to the aroma, and citrus is not the main character in this fragrance at all. It is only present as a small molecular opening note and therefore disappears very quickly after spraying the fragrance. This is not a citrus-vanilla fragrance, but a ginger-cardamom-vanilla fragrance. Still, when I reviewed Cécile's Outlands | Amouage and compared it (not similar ones) to Ani, Material | Amouage and African Leather | Memo Paris , a faint citrus aroma is noticeable, especially next to Material. It is very mild, however, because I am known to be not a fan of citrus and in no way does it reach the citrus cake-style aroma that is found in Lira, for example, which I do not like at all. The lemon remains gentle the whole time, bringing brightness to the fragrance rather than a sour citrus aroma. Fortunately, it is clearly understated by the ginger and cardamom. This is not shy vanilla, this makes you stand out but it’s not what I was thinking based on reviews: too spicy or too sharp. Without those spices this would be just another ordinary vanilla perfume. If you like spicy notes even a little bit, you will love this blend. 💎 Thank you for reading, I hope my review was helpful.

Instant love. The opening did not really impress me. It's kind of chaotic? I cannot think of a better way how to describe it. Like if there were too many notes fighting for my attention and I couldn't grasp what's happening. However, after just a couple of minutes, the magic started working and it turned into one of the best, masterfully blended and nostalgia inducing vanilla scents I have ever tried. I am a proud owner of Bergamoss - Let's make love on Christmass, which is an uprecedented take on Czech variety of gingerbread cookies. It's lovely, festive and it smells so edible that it drew one of my colleagues to come and ask where are the cookies and if he can have some! And Ani? Ani smells just like a raw, unbaked linz dough full of vanilla and grated lemon peel. You know, the kind that smells and tastes just so good that you have to hold yourself and stop snacking on it even before you actually bake it. It evokes so many memories. Even though this fragrance is not marketed or classified as a gourmand scent, to me it is just that. The most mature, pleasing and absolutely addictive gourmand there is. I can't wait to add it to my collection.

Fragrance Journal Entry #123 So admittedly at first i hated this fragrance...let me explain, i sprayed this on a tester strip and immediatly pulled my nose away. I thought wow how can people like this..i waited a few days and decided to try again and still it was not good, my last try i decided to spray on skin and kept my nose away from my hand. About 30mins later i got a whiff in the air of something i could only describe as "heavenly", i smelled my hand and sure enough the harshness was gone and what was left was a beautiful masculine take on a "lemon cake" style of fragrance. The ginger in the opening is what was throwing me off..now i don't think it is a quality issue as nishane uses high quality ingredients but probably more of a blending issue. My advice is to test this on SKIN first and wait about 30-45min before giving a judgement...you'll thank me later. The performance is eternal for this one and you'll smell it on yourself all day.

This fragrance smells like a lemon dessert done right — bright, creamy, and addictive without ever becoming cloying. The ginger and bergamot give a sparkling opening, fresh but not sharp, while the pink pepper adds just enough lift to keep it interesting. As it develops, it turns into a smooth lemon-vanilla accord, softly sweet, slightly spicy, and incredibly well balanced. It truly feels like a refined pastry rather than a sugary bomb. The rose and black currant stay subtle, adding depth instead of stealing the spotlight. The base is where it shines: vanilla, benzoin, woods, and musk create a warm, elegant trail that lasts forever. Longevity is excellent, and the sillage is confident and noticeable without being aggressive. Brutally honest: this is comfort, quality, and pleasure bottled. Easy to love, but not boring. Sweet, yet grown. Final thought: a lemon dessert fragrance for people who hate sticky gourmands. I’m obsessed

Absolutely fucking phenomenal fragrance. It's well blended, natural smelling and just a perfect vanilla lemony cake fragrance. On first sniff it smells like intense cedrat boise with vanilla. It's a fragrance that you must wear a few times to really appreciate in my opinion. The projection and longevity are really great, my neck got soaked in snow in freezing temperatures and Nishane Ani was still projecting heavily for the whole night, and of course the clothes I wore still smelled like crazy the day after. Elegant, smooth and refined. Ladies absolutely love this one, genuinely have gotten stopped on the street multiple time by grown women to ask me what I'm wearing. It can definitely be worn by younger dudes or adults, and also women. Top tier fragrance.
