Ani
Nishane (2019)

To me it is as if Ani had taken a vanilla / pink pepper /bergamot /blue ginger / sandalwood perfume of top complexity and stirred it in musky, rosy, cream. One of my sons is getting into perfume too, and when he sprayed it on his wrist, he literally had a startle reflex and exclaimed at how beautiful it was. For sheer beauty, this is indeed at the very top of my list. As the fragrance evolves, I get a distant fruit note overlaid with archival manuscripts (old paper), and spice. It is utterly voluptuous without being gourmand. The Turkish Nishane house works with top Parisian designers; in this case, Cécile Zarokian, the nose behind fragrances including Epic Woman for Amouage.

This may not be as sophisticated as SDV, Angelique Noire or Cuir Beluga, but its 3x as much as fun as those 3. This is a swirly ginger vanilla that lasts for hours and hours. Its a fantastic and fun wear, when you just want to fell happy. There is this spicy feel to it that gives you energy, while it still manages to feel cozy and welcoming. At first i did not like it, but now i love it. By far the best Nishane there is.

Ani by Nishane is a complex and modern fragrance with a mix of potent aromachemicals and natural ingredients.

I read all these reviews and all the reviews on Fragrantica and naievely hoped I would get the same incense/vanilla/autumn love. Didn't. The various notes clutter up that signature and make this a busy, loud, aggressive perfume-y mix on me, like the vintage 'vanilla' perfumes that were a million notes over the top of the vanilla. Vanilla Fields comes to mind, and Coty Raw Vanilla; perfume-y, brash, muddled florals and citruses occluding the creamy warm of the vanilla. This one didn't work for me at all and it's so darn expensive to be so very eh. Not bad, but I hated it anyway.

It's OK. Very oriental incense kind of smell. Havicet is better and not as offensive. It's definitely a winter scent

I love scents that make you thing of coziness, warm fires and that autumnal smell. This scent makes you want to lean in and then in again. Let me brief and to the point:

1. This is a date night frag, a fancy posh place sort of vibe. This is a rich b**** kind of thing. If you're into scent pairing, spray inlt first and top of with 1-2 spritzes of TF tobacco Vanille for a unique experience
2. Due to the feelings it invokes, this is a fall, winter scent but can be worn in the evenings for nice occasions
3. Don't over spray...its projection and spillage are awesome!

Should you own a bottle! Yep!
Wow!
