Aquatic salty magnolia
Le Couvent is a perfume house that uses high quality ingredients for the main notes of the fragrance and is under the artistic direction of Jean Claude Ellena, one of the greatest perfumers we had. Anori is a fresh flowery aquatic perfume that is refreshing and uplifting. If you are interested into hearing more details about this perfume and others from the Le Couvent line, please watch my dedicated review video on Youtube.

Very helpful Review 8  
Solid SPA Hotel by the Sea
Anori was supposed to be my summer fragrance. Sea spray with magnolia and woody undertones? Sounded great. I love salty notes, and as long as an aquatic perfume maintains the tension, I'm in.

Unfortunately, the first spray was a bit disappointing. It smelled like Palmolive Olive shower gel: clean, soapy, a bit green. Just intense like shower gel. This impression lingered surprisingly long on my skin until it slowly faded after about 20 minutes. In its place came the magnolia blossoms, which seemed carried by the sea breeze and had an airy and fresh character. From the green start, only herbal notes remained.
I imagine dunes in spring: it's fresh, the dunes are covered with grass and flowers, and the clear, salty wind whistles from the sea. My critical nose simultaneously thinks of high-quality fabric softeners and scent sticks. This is how the rooms in SPA or thermal hotels could smell.

The fragrance doesn't change significantly after that. The longevity and sillage are surprisingly good until Anori becomes quieter and fades out pleasantly, but also somewhat unspectacularly.
Unfortunately, I don't pick up on any driftwood. It remains clean, floral, mineral. Like freshly showered, which is why I can easily imagine it in spring/summer, at the gym, and in the office.
Anori could have easily been released 20 years ago and would have gone unnoticed. Very unisex; I can even imagine it being slightly better on a man.

What do I do with it now? I look somewhat perplexed at Anori. The scent meets all my criteria (clean aquatic magnolia with salt and sea freshness), but I find it a bit harsh, and at the same time, I can't get over the slightly synthetic beginning. The heart notes are nice, but they don't grab me enough and ultimately show no depth or change.
I'm considering using it as a room spray.

The packaging, the bottle, and the spray mist are, as expected from Le Couvent, top-notch and seem far more high-quality than the price suggests. Overall, however, Anori falls behind other favorites in the line (especially Smyrna), even though the scent fundamentally meets the Le Couvent criteria (nice & wearable).

For me, a solid 6.5/10

As expected it's rather nice! Not yet sure if it's a little too feminine-floral for me. Beautiful magnolia note with woods, calming indeed!

What is with this trend to promote a fragrance announcing just a few notes? Did they pay two perfumers to combine two notes? LOL

Very enjoyable magnolia oriented scent. Reminds me a lot of Very Valentino. It has Ellena vibe to it. Unfortunately low longevity.

Soap-clean floral scent with a hint of spice and a cool-aquatic freshness. A bit too clean for me and it stings my nose a little.

Although slightly aquatic-synthetic, not bad at all. Delicately floral, fresh and spicy, cedar is a bit overshadowed.

Angular, beautiful, unique. Floral wind brushes over rough rocks by the sea.

The icy wind of the North Sea carries the floral scent of magnolia blossoms and announces spring. Nice and special.

Sweet, floral, and very feminine. Still conceivable on a man. At first, it stands out a bit, but that fades over time.

An unpleasant start with a soapy clean scent. Then magnolia blossoms take center stage. A light sea breeze blows. Cool, herbal, fresh + floral.
