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.
A budget reading of Nishane's Ani - the same bright citrus-and-ginger opening melting into a creamy lemon-cake vanilla over soft woods. Citrus Dream catches the zesty-to-cosy arc well, but the vanilla reads sweeter and thinner, and it loses the original's luxurious 10-12 hour projection.
