The lesser known but better Nishane Ani alternative
The Nasheet recently had a little hype.
Only because of the rather weak performance, the hype never really became as big as with a Khamrah or a Bade'e Al Oud - Oud for Glory.
The Satwa, on the other hand, flew almost completely under the radar.
Although this is also an alternative to Ani Extrait de Parfum.
And for me, it's even the better alternative, as it's a little closer to the original.
We don't have to talk about it, the original, of course, remains the original.
It performs better, has more depth, higher quality etc.
But of course the price is not without it.
And not everyone wants to or can pay this price.
And that's where the "dupes" come into play.
Satwa as well as Nasheet are both alternatives and not 1:1 dupes.
But which one is better?
For me, as mentioned at the beginning, the Satwa.
The Nasheet is spicier, the ginger is simply more prominent in the fragrance, while the Satwa smells more citrusy and feels completely devoid of ginger.
But enough with the comparisons, I'll get straight to the fragrance.
It starts with a wonderful, citrusy note that reminds me strongly of a lemon cake.
Sweet and creamy but somehow also refreshing.
It is this mix of fresh lemon/bergamot and the creamy, sweet vanilla that gives the impression of a kind of lemon cake.
The fragrance somehow has no transition at all.
What I perceive in the opening I also smell in the DD.
In the air later on, I can perhaps detect something slightly metallic, i.e. really very minimal and it becomes subtly fresher, but otherwise the fragrance hardly changes at all.
Definitely unisex for me, even if I see it minimally more on a man.
Nevertheless, also perfect for a lady.
You can wear the fragrance at almost any time of year, even in summer, as it is fresher than the original.
The performance is quite ok.
It lasted on my clothes until the next wash.
The sillage is strong in the first hour, but still good in the second hour.
And then I'm either fragrance-blind or the performance is simply not the best anymore.
Nevertheless, I could still smell it after 4-5 hours.
So it's probably more down to my nose.
My conclusion: a lot of quality for little money, that's how I like it.
If you like Ani, you've come to the right place.
If you love the scent of lemon cake, you've also come to the right place.
At the moment this is my favorite fragrance house Ard Al Zaafaran, I can only recommend it to everyone.
