Ani

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
