Which Should You Buy?
A divisive yet much-loved take on the original Ani, Ani X is a confident, fresh, and citrusy vanilla that many find both sophisticated and versatile. While some reviewers found it unoriginal or too sweet, many loved its unique gourmand-level freshness and impressive performance.
This "blue" fragrance is a solid all-rounder for the price if you're after a fresh, clean scent, but don't expect it to break new ground. While it's a mass-appealing "shower gel" type, some find it a bit generic or even old-fashioned, so it's not quite the blind buy safe bet it might seem.
