What does Ani X smell like?
It opens with bergamot, lemon, cardamom and pink pepper for freshness and a light spice, while honeydew melon and aquatic notes add a cool, fruity touch. Lavender, sage and green apple lead the heart, softened by rose and patchouli. In the base, vanilla, sandalwood and white musk turn it sweeter and creamier.
Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick spring and fall, and night out, leisure and evening draw almost equal votes. It reads somewhere between masculine and feminine. Nishane Ani (Extrait de Parfum) and The Dua Brand Drowning in Vanilla: X have a close profile.
