Anela

OooooOoOoOhhh this is a lil bit noiiice!!! Was not sure what to expect from the notes but one spray of the sample and I immediately upgraded to a full bottle. This is a sweet-vanillic, ambery musky fragrance that feels warm, cozy and sensual. I struggle to pick out any of the notes except a hint of ambrette and the saffron. The saffron is perfection, smells exactly as it is - not metallic, not leathery, just plain old saffrony and it is fantastic. The only fragrance I can think of that is remotely in the same ballpark is Courreges Slogan. EDIT - this smells a little similar to the drydown of The Architects Club. Both are straight up bangers and I can’t get enough of either!

Wow Anela is pure alchemy: a first spritz that whispers Quentin Bisch’s Ganymede—saffron and pink pepper crackling with metallic fire, tart blackcurrant adding electric juice—before it boldly breaks away into its own vanilla kingdom. The heart blooms with dewy lily-of-the-valley, powdery iris, and sacred incense smoke, layering mystery over sweetness. Then the base arrives like warm cashmere: lush Bourbon vanilla enfolded in ambrette’s musky pear glow and soft, skin-kissed musk. What starts as futuristic spice becomes an intimate, addictive embrace—resinous, creamy, transcendent. A vanilla that doesn’t just comfort; it enchants. Extraordinary.

This is absolutely babycat. Queen of the night. Aylan. Vanilian Supreme DNA. I will be purchasing but since I won't be wearing it until fall, it's not at the top of the wishlist.

The opening actually reminds me of Wood Whisper by Ojar!! But the rest reminds me of Liquide Les by Liquidee Imaginaires
