Nishane Ani X is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Cécile Zarokian. Ani X opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Pink Pepper, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Patchouli, Rose, Lavender, and Apple, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Musk, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Nishane's Ani X carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

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.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Ani X kicks off with a zesty and fruity burst of lemon, bergamot, and melon, sharpened by spicy ginger and pink pepper, and a refreshing rainwater accord. The heart unfolds with aromatic lavender, rose, tart blackcurrant, and crisp apple. It settles into a creamy, woody base of vanilla, sandalwood, cashmeran, cedar, and a hint of ambergris, creating a smooth yet vibrant trail.
