Smells like a sexy forest. I smell the pine sap and the tree bark and a heavy dose of vanilla. To me, it reminds me a bit of Angel without the challenging aspects of that fragrance. Nothing sharp or abrasive here. It’s vanilla but with something woodsy and resinous yet also somehow green and fresh (probably because it reminds me of Douglas fir trees). It’s so unique and classy. Very expensive so I had better save my pennies because I’m in love and going to need more.

The drydown is the magic in this fragrance. Smooth vanilla dominant but with a complex background of mainly sandalwood, creamy benzoin, patchouli and a bit of musk. The opening can smell like generic creamy vanilla that is found in many other designer fragrances. Smells very high quality and well blended. Even reminds me a bit of Chanel's masterpiece Coromandel. Leans more feminine, suited best for a highly respected elegant lady. 8.75 / 10.

Gorgeous sweet creamy citrus opening, followed by a smooth vanilla and slightly spicy drydown. This stuff has insane performance! I sprayed two sprays (from a 5ml decant) on my neck/shirt and was getting strong whiffs of it all day, so much so that 4 hours after applying my coworker asked what I was wearing and she was standing a few feet away from me. The kicker was that I had changed my shirt before work. Just what I had on my skin rubbed onto the neckline of my clean shirt and I could smell it on there as well. My shirt literally still smells like Ani in my laundry bag and I can guarantee it would still project if it put it on and wore it today. Something about this scent is so unique, as far as compared to what I have smelled, and I am obsessed with it. I ended up ordering another 10ml decant which should last me a while seeing as you don't need much. I would love to find a good deal on a full sized bottle at some point. Perfect fall/winter fragrance and definitely my favorite niche discovery of 2020

Well structered, crisp,deep,clean interesting very versatile pleasing scent , top Mark's 👏👏👏

Best cologne/ fragrance I’ve smelled since Aventus. Bought it after testing it for an hour... it’s that good

Just when I’d thought I’d never see vanilla done in an interesting way again Nishane - Ani came along. This is an outstandingly beautiful fragrance. Projection on this fragrance is absolutely marvelous from enormous for the first hour to heavy for a few hours following. This fragrance is all about that beautiful realistic vanilla note and it’s other notes serve to highlight it. You get some spice from the ginger and a creamy woodiness from the sandalwood as well which are fairly prominent notes as well. But WOW. This fragrance truly has me amazed. Definitely a true unisex fragrance. I could see it working on a man or woman. I will be picking up a bottle in the future. Please sample this fragrance if you like vanilla based fragrances or are tired of the same old vanilla execution in fragrance. You will be happy you did! Masterpiece fragrance right here.

Stunning! Simply stunning! Well done Nishane. Blended so well I can only catch the obvious vanilla. But you know there's a background orchestra going on. Sample approved. Now on to a full bottle.

Nishane hit a Home Run here. Best synthetic Vanilla ever done in my opinion. This is a unisex scent that men 18+ can pull off. It is Very Sexy and alluring and Strong 9/10

Unusual scent, first thing that comes to mind is simply the taste when eating a vanilla ice cream off a wooden stick when you get down to the last bit when there is more stick than ice cream. However the scent is far more complex as it develops and progresses during the wearing. Sweet vanilla, bergamot, cardamon and sandalwood with other notes I can't identify without referencing the listed notes. Long lasting with average sillage, it appears to stay close to my skin then catches me out as I sense it radiating during different periods during the wearing. Closest other perfume I have would be Dries Van Noten from Fredric Malle, but that is far stronger and can sometimes become sweetly sick if applied too heavily or the temperature increases. Ani is a beautiful creation, never clawing, just a wonderful complex vanilla. Unisex with no leaning either way, Nishane is a house I need to explore more, this is my first FB from this house.

This is pure bliss... It’s a rich thick cream...super smooth vanilla infused with fresh ginger & cardamom. Opens up with the bergamot as well and surely there is a good sandalwood base and some balsamic quality to it, but for me the only aspect worth mentioning is the vanilla custard cream with the ginger freshness... Very dense...not airy at all. I agree the longevity is great, but I do spray heavily and unless I’m moving I can’t say there is a good projection. If you want others to smell this on you I would recommend spraying it clothes as well. It does lean feminine I feel, but would love to see a guy pull it off. It’s on the gourmand spectrum and definitely for the vanilla fan, but don’t expect the classic cheap sweet vanilla perfume. Love it & I’m enjoying my bottle!

From a male perspective: I'm new to this fragrance house and I have to say this scent is intoxicating!!! To me this smells like a super rich lemony pie with a vanilla filling...its incredible! Its has a soft and gentle gormandish scent but its definitely one to grab attention especially in a small area. It smells pretty unisex to me as well. I would HIGHLY recommend anyone to get a sample of this one to let your nose experience this luxurious aroma. I bought a 2ml decant off Ebay and now I just bought a 50ml bottle from Luckyscent. If you have the funds and you are debating on this one do yourself a favor and just buy it before it becomes hard to find. This should never be reformulated it is such a MASTERPIECE!!! Blind Buy Worthy!!

aI echo everything that @Big Pay Ness said. Ani is gorgeous beyond description. Longevity is unbelievable. I get 24 hours on skin and over two weeks on clothing, with very heavy projection. A very tangy, slightly floral green vanilla. The scent is absolutely breathtaking and exudes sophistication. It doesn't lean masculine or feminine, it's perfectly unisex. Two sprays is more than enough. Ani is extremely creative and versatile. I would wear this in any season, aside from outdoors in high heat. So well-blended and stunningly beautiful, this is really something special! Scent: 10/10 Longevity: 10/10 Projection: 10/10 Versatility: 9/10 Price/Performance Ratio: 6/10

This fragrance smells sooo good. I can't stop smelling myself. So rich and creamy and the vanilla is a 10/10. It's a powerhouse of a scent and I would recommend 1 or 2 sprays. You get 12+ hours with this fragrance. This one would be suitable for more of the colder weather or on a cooler night. It's summer right now and I'm indoors with the A/C going and I'm wearing it at the moment because I love the smell so much.

Oh man this is such a bomb. This is by far the best fragrance in this line! It's all about vanilla, but it's so mellow and soft, hauntingly beautiful. It's perfectly rounded with other notes such as sandalwood and benzoin. I'm sure this will get very popular.

This is mostly boozy fragrance. Whiskey is dominant from the very start. You can sniff some oud and a bit of sweetness too

After looking high and low for a vanilla I could actually stomach (as in, would want to wear it without wanting to eat it), a tiny sample of this serendipitously landed in my lap. This is the one. This is it! eureka! Sublime, edible, (yes, but would I, at THAT price? I don't think so), sweet (would the wasps mob me? maybe, maybe not), spicy? (definitley, but in a really nice Indian dessertshop kinda way The drydown is kinda soapy, very faint vanilla receding from the main tsunami of deliciousness leaving me gasping among the wreckage of my own miserable preconceptions. I'm really not getting sandalwood (good, cause these days it's all a bit sour and meh), and the musk is really nice, subtle, quiet, mood enhancing instead of lugging that horrible baby poop weighing down a diaper smell which cheaper vegetal musks are apt to dry down to. The vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon combo is outrageously well executed, so cleanly blended that you have trouble telling one from t'tother (to borrow a bit of Yorkshire parlance) because, I get definite yearnings to plant my entire face in a delicious creamy Yorkshire custard tart with nutmeg on it when I smell this superb conconction. Pretty sure the price tag reflects the bizarre egg packaging (lovely though it is, I prefer my perfumes unsullied by heat and light so it will stay in a box rather than grace my dressing table). 10/10 for lusciousness. 10/10 for driving me headlong into the criminal underworld to buy a bottle.

Nice Scent but nothing out of the ordinary. Cinnamon is about all I get with a splash of oud. Smells to much like every "1 million" type designer scent. I got the sample set of all House of Oud fragrances and I'm not overwhelmed by any of them. Don't get me wrong, they're all well made and will appeal to many, just not me.Mar

i love it. like nothing in my collection. Granted, i lean heavy towards fall/winter scents, but still I think it's great. If you don't like it, stop btching about it or talking crap about online videos where someone likes it. If you're curious, look for samples on ebay or get one from lucky scent before getting a full bottle. Pricey? yes, but the designer house is all the way in Australia and I doubt that US consumers were really that important. And like all houses, it's up to the consumer. Must be working for them back home because all their products are priced the same. This one is just another one. Enjoy!

For those claiming poor performance or this scent being too light, I would guess you're having trouble smelling it at all due to the oakmoss aromachemicals used. Creed's Aventus cops similar widespread criticism due to how quickly noses can be fatigued by it.

I just got my bottle yesterday. After a full wearing and 5 sprays I can say this performs pretty well on me for a fresh scent. I got about 4 hours of projection and another 3 before it seemed as if it was gone. Definitely going to be keeping this for my spring/summer rotation. It reminds me of a breeze by the ocean. A better performer on me that Sel Marin and smells very authentic. The color of the juice is pretty cool too.

Finally received my 10ml decant.Firstly, i do enjoy the opening. It's lemony-fresh with a sort of "unripe green floral" essence. I definitely get a "Pacific" vibe from this, but more of a city beach like Venice Beach or even Marina Del Rey, and less of a tropical/South Pacific vibe. It's clean, it's totally unoffensive and pleasant.However, I still feel the name is misleading because i honestly don't get any sort of rock or moss from this. The overall scent should have more salinity and a wee bit of a dirty vibe; this is clean, clean, clean. Moss doesn't smell this clean, and rocks sure as hell don't.I agree with sentiments about this being overhyped. This is not "the best scent ever", and anyone who said "BEAST MODE" about this stuff should be throat-punched. It's good, but nothing more. It's missing a certain "je ne sais quoi" for me to want a bottle of this. 6.5 out of 10 from me, with potential of being a soft 7.

Very nice aquatic fragrance. Its light fresh and unique. Gr3at for warm weather. Feels like beach party scent. Its not strong cloying type of fragrance. Love it and can be a signature scent. Only problem is lack of performance. I get about 5 to 6 hours of this. Very sexy scent that can attract opposite sex. This is like gucci pour 2 with same performance and light easy to wear scent. I would definitely wear this on spring and summer. Very wearable scent.

The smell is unique and fresh. It’s got that (what I call) tweak in it that grabs your senses and makes you want more. It will be my signature scent for spring/summer. You won’t regret this purchase it’s awesome.AquaticSweetHint of moss/fresh cedar

WOW....TO PUT THIS GEM IN PERSPECTIVETHINK CANDIED AQUATIC..WHAT AN IRRESISTIBLE FRAGRANCE..

Very much along the line of Silver Mountain Water, like a half brother. This has way better longevity Though and projects more. Great value for money

This is quite an original take on the aquatic genre. Nothing harsch nor metallic in here. Starts with a smooth lemony vibe that quickly fades into the background, from where a silken sage grows to claim the main role, elegantly sustained by the geranium. It slowly becomes a gentle oceanic, aquatic scent i can’t compare with any I’ve already encountered.To my nose, Cedar only appears late in the game.All the evolutions of this composition are quiet, and give an overall impression of linearity.What surprises me the most is the underlying sweetness of this fragrance, the comforting warmth of it. Nonetheless and perhaps contradictorily... I haven’t had the opportunity to try it during hot summer days, but I can already feel that it’ll shine in these conditions. Can’t wait! Until that time, I’ll give to PRM an 8.5-9/10.

Just arrived a few days ago. This is a fantastic scent for daytime, casual evening on warm days in the spring and summer. Aquatic, fresh and clean. I live in a very warm climate in AZ & Vegas and this is exactly what I have been searching for. The longevity is just medium which is fine considering it's a warm weather daytime scent for me.

Extremely under the radar fragrance, absolutely amazing fragrance that everyone needs to try.

I generally don't like aquatic or ozonic scents, and I assumed I would not like this one based on the description, but as it was included in the house sample pack, I grudgingly gave it a test run.Boy, was I in for a surprise! The first blast knocked me off my feet, and within 15 minutes I knew I was going to buy a full bottle. This is nothing like the aquatics and ozonics I grew up with in the 90's. I didn't think there was anything new that could be done this genre, but Pacific Rock Moss came along and presented the freshest and most realistic beach feeling I have ever encountered. The salty notes are balanced with a streak of citrus to create a breezy effect, while the moss acts as an anchor and gives it depth and volume. Performance wise, I get a consistent 4-5 hours regardless of temperature or season. It suits summer best as it is so fresh, however I find myself spraying it in winter as well, when I need to remind myself of the beach and sunshine. The development is linear, which some may see as a negative, but in this case I think it is appropriate. If you are standing on a perfect beach in perfect weather, why would you want it to change?

The first sniff of this and I was transported to the seaside; standing on the cliffs, looking out over the ocean, with all its different blues and greens, watching the waves rolling in, with a delicious breeze bringing the scent of the ocean to me. The lemon and sage give this a fresh, bracing feel. Prompted an unsolicited “oh, you smell nice!” from my husband. Lovely

I can't say enough good stuff about this scent..I won't go into the notes, as they are clearly listed above.So to describe it without the notes, It smells like a walk along the beach..Pure class in a bottle..

I saw it, I smelled it, I fell in love with it, I dreamed about it, I bought it, I never want to let it go.
