I have been using Nishane Ani X for the past 6 months, and it has become my go-to fragrance. The warm, elegant scent is bold yet inviting, and I constantly receive compliments from those around me. It leaves a lasting impression and is perfect for any occasion. As far as its cost is concerned That is very genuine & affordable.

While I don't find the original Ani Extrait de Parfum to be alienating in the slightest, community sentiment has always been torn as for what direction it leans, and just how wearable it is. Well, it appears these two problems have been solved here.

Ani X opens with a brilliant yet short-lived melon note flanked by the vanilla and mild spices, a clear improvement on wearability compared to the original Ani which is a spring-fall spicy vanilla. Even the first whiff you get on skin is brilliant, a true prospect of a 10/10 fragrance. As the scent dries, it is the recognizable Ani vanilla with a smooth blend of white musk and cashmere wood.

Where Ani X, to me, falls short of the high standard of the original, is the deep drydown where that white musk is a bit too prominent for my liking. I also notice the considerably weaker sillage relative to the original. It's also worth noting that overall, the scent doesn't really accomplish much new and that is potentially the biggest issue with Ani X - the feeling that this has aspects of being a cash grab.

Summary (vs. original):
+ Suitable for summer, improved wearability thanks to fewer spices, better opening
? Retains original Ani's vanilla-y smoothness, same price point
- Lack of significant profile improvement / super similar, decrease in sillage

Cecille dit it again
Yessss. Finnaly this might actually be a more mascule version of the og. The og is beautifull don’t get me wrong the vanilla ginger cake vibes i love it. But i like it better on a woman. It’s kind of hard for a man to pull of a fluffly vanilla cake smelling scent. But this at the top is much more citrussy you get lemon and i get a grapefruit with slight bitter touches too. And the citrussses last a good time like 30 minutes. The original vanilla ginger combo is still there in the back but it is after 30 minutes that it comes more to the front the citrusses die oud. With some extra woodieness too. The drydown is very nice i feel like is more woody and less sweet than the og. Don’t know about performance yet since the samples have those little crappy puff sprayers. But if you are a man. I would take ani X and womand original Ani. Or get both :)

Lemon , Vanilla, Cedar
I finally got my hands on a sample of this.
So it's super fresh going on first. Lots of lemon. Not sweet lemon, but fresh - nearly pine. Not overwhelming, but nice. Then the citrus takes a back seat, and vanilla, wood and ginger take center stage. And that's why I think of the erasers -- the vanilla + the cedar! Cedar is often used to make pencils.

This fragrance is fun in the sense that it's not just giving you just one note. At one sniff you might get more lemon. Then the next one might be more vanilla. And still another, more wood. It's expertly done! But that said, I'm not quite sure it's "me".... It's nice, but it didn't necessarily grab me. I don't know that I would actually buy it. Which isn't a bad thing - because I happen to believe that in the same way the wearer deserves to wear a perfume they love and enjoy, a really good perfume deserves a wearer who will fully appreciate it. I'm just not sure yet that I'm the latter with this one and may need to leave a bottle on the shelf for its very best owner.

Few hours later: This is like Ani but not as polite, it has much more earthy patchouli going on almost a damp like smell with the blackcurrant mixing in.

Ani X opens with a sweet, citrusy burst of lemon and melon, evolving into a creamy vanilla heart. The drydown is woody, spicy and musky.

I like this, it's different enough from Ani to be its own I think and is a bit more masculine than the original.

It's quite intense and sweet scent with strong melon note, a few sprays would be enough for the day. A successful one I would say
