Ani was my first niche fragrance purchase. It brought me to this obsession and joy of loving perfume again after years of not wearing fragrance at all (damaged olfactory system several years ago and couldn't smell much of anything, and then hated my then signature scent once smell returned). Ani was such a joy to experience that I got excited about fragrance again. Now I have almost 200 fragrances, mostly niche. Ani brought me to you, Sebastian!
Ani is my favorite fragrance to date. I just recently got my X collection sample set last week and have been loving Ani X. It’s amazing to finally to be able to comfortably enjoy Ani in hot weather!!
Definitely a fan of Ani. Awesome as a stand alone and, given the vanilla nature of this frag, it is one of the most 'layerable' scents I have. Looking forward to Ani X.
Agreed, a top "layerable" scent. I like it with Givenchy Pi. They are a tad bit redundant/similar, but Pi is a bit weak and Ani adds more bottom foundation and base.
I like ANI it’s not a love because on my skin the dry down smells weird, but it’s my skin. What I do like is to layer it with Aventus, it’s amazing!! I bought Electimuss Imperium for that reason. I haven’t tried any of the anniversary ones. I’m more curious about Hundred Silent Ways X and Fan your Flames X. Thanks for the review Sebastian!!!
Big enough fan of Ani that I might not need Ani X, because once I fall in love with a fragrance, I tend to not love flankers or 'reinterpretations' of them, because they're already 'perfect' to my nose. Like, you don't need to paint a butterfly. That said, it sounds like if I ever desire a lemony fragrance in my collection, Ani X might be the way to go! Thanks for the comparison!
I have never been a fan of Ani because of its sharp opening. My nose cant pass that opening for a long time. I dont get vanilla much so it has never been a vanilla perfume. Ani x has softer opening and i can sense vanilla this time but still not fbw for me.
if you live in london and its 15 and below in the summer ani x is ok to wear, but in any other country where it is 17 plus degrees and above ani x is not a summer fragrance, its a cold weather fragrance in my opinion.
i got the x collection samples after your video, I decided to use fan of your flames for winter , but for summer i didnt decide cause ANI X OR HACIVAT X , im not sure if ani x is for summer
…thanks Sebastian for this ! have/love Ani and Hundred Silent Ways…can see lemon would be a great addition, slightly cutting and adding juiciness to a very rich fragrance…still, don’t feel compelled to pick-up, perhaps in 30ml?, not a fan of the “X” labels…
I love Ani! Disappointed to hear that the X version’s performance isn’t as good as the original and in my humble opinion it should’ve outperformed it. Hopefully in the near future we can get an Ani Oud (Ani Aoud).
I tried the x collection except hsw since i dont like the original. I really like fan your flames x although it is more generic than original. Original is great but too masculine for my taste, x is sweeter and softer. I have not tested the original wulong cha so i cannot compare the original and x but x seems to me nothing special. It is not bad either a good smelling green tea scent. Hacivat is great freshie yet strong scent for men. x is still masculine for my taste. Original is brighter x is smokier to my nose. Both lovely.
Ugh Ani is a hard NO for me blech. And I like spicy fragrances but I don’t even get the vanilla in this bc it’s so overpowered with spices. I also get nothing powdery or creamy about this but I wish I did. I’m gonna try the Ginger Essence though from your other video, sounds nice.
Liked ani but was way to peppery intense I’m really excited for the c line in all of them for I sold all my nishane because of the oakmoss etc especially in hacivat and ani
Ani X seems intriguing bcuz i always struggle on when/where exactly i should wear the original Ani. Ani is a very hard scent for me to pin down what it is im trying to do with it
Fragrances I'd love to see you review: Houbigant's Patchouli Sauvage, Brioni's EDP Essentiel, L'eau d'Issey Pour Homme Vetiver, Akro's Bake and Cocoloco from Zaharoff!
So sorry to hear your allergies are acting up again. Here in New York I have been dealing with allergies and the poor air quality due to the Canadian fires. Hoping we both get relief soon. I haven't tried any fragrances from Nishane. I am currently testing Plum In Cognac. I will probably order a bottle tomorrow. I just received Amouage's Guidance today. These pricey fragrances are dipping into my wallet ... lol. Feel better, Sebastian.
Thank you, Sebastian so much about this video. Original Ani is is in my top 5 for sure. I have worn it in August heat, and while it is a presence, I love it so much that it doesn't bother me. So, depending on price, I might get the new one, so the summer wear can be a bit more tame :) I would really love it if you could do Xerjoff Uden vs Uden Overdose. I need help making that decision.
I love the original Ani and an added lemon touch sounds great to mix it up a bit. Going to end up getting a bottle when it’s available here in the states, hopefully while it’s still warmer out so I can try and pull it off in the heat. Great review as always!
Tried all x collection. Hacıvat x is fine. Ani x is just not worth it. Smoother than ani but lost its signature green vibe. Still great tho. Ani is simply the best
Thanks, Sebastian! Yes, I am impatient! I really want Ani X. Original Ani is in my top 5 ever perfumes. However, I can't wear it un the hot, humid summers where I live. The lemony start in the X version you describe reminds me of something I love about another summer only perfume for me, which is Byredo Gypsy Water. I don't love freshies, but there's something about lemon with those stronger woodsy notes I love.
The original Ani might be my favorite fragrance in my collection. I bought the X collection sample pack and I wanted to love Ani X but it took out some of the things I personally loved about the original. The big cardamom/ginger blast and the beautiful sweetness are all gone and Ani X to me is mostly green with just a hint of sweetness.
Thank you for the video. I love Ani and needed to order a replacement. I was just waiting for this comparison from my favorite. fragrance Reviewer ❤ looks like im staying with my beloved ANI 😍
I am not a gourmand fan so couldn't get into Ani but the Ani X might be up my alley. I absolutely LOOOVE the original Hacivat however, it looks like they have changed the formula and cheapened it somehow - the top note has a very strong lemon pledge scent and the gorgeous oakmoss has been tapered way down😢. I will try the Hacivat X even though it's a different dna.
After this will be the Nishane XX line and then Nishane XXX 😄. I love Ani btw. I would classify it as squarely gourmand, to me it smells exactly like those frosted lemon cookies. I don't think I'm interested in the X after this review, I like the vanilla heavy aspect of the original. If the lemon note reduces the vanilla, I might not like it.

OOh
How did you get it back? I lost mine 1.5 years ago after covid
I just ordered ani also. Also my very first niche purchase

I think it will shine more in cooler summer evenings. Cecil Z is definitely need to make more perfumes love her formulations for amouge too

Would love to see a house review of Aaron Terence Hughes please!
Nice touch with changing slightly background fragrances
Glad you like it!
I’d love to see a review and comparison of Wulong Cha and the X version. I love the original. Thank you!
Seconded!
It’s watered down and not so good as og.
I have never been a fan of Ani because of its sharp opening. My nose cant pass that opening for a long time. I dont get vanilla much so it has never been a vanilla perfume. Ani x has softer opening and i can sense vanilla this time but still not fbw for me.
Hacivat X sounds interesting ..
It's amazing 👏🏾
*I actually prefer Ani X over the original. Like by farrrrrrrrrr. I think it’s 3x the fragrance.*
Yes in Turkey its available. Decant sites are already selling it too
Need to get a sample I didn’t care for ANI it smells like vanilla extract which is a lot cheaper because I can buy Vanilla extract at Whole Foods.
I have the original of Ani and did not even know about the X collection. Thanks for the info.
if you live in london and its 15 and below in the summer ani x is ok to wear, but in any other country where it is 17 plus degrees and above ani x is not a summer fragrance, its a cold weather fragrance in my opinion.

Out of all of them, Fan Your Flames X came out a winner. So smooth and delicious!
Thanks Sebastian for this Nishane Ani x 2023 video.make video about Nichane x
How would you compare ani x to ingenious ginger? I've seen comparisons to one another online and I'm interested in your opinion. Thanks!
I love Ani!
Disappointed to hear that the X version’s performance isn’t as good as the original and in my humble opinion it should’ve outperformed it. Hopefully in the near future we can get an Ani Oud (Ani Aoud).
Hello! Could you please share your opinion about Regalien Istanbul perfume brand? Thank you!
I don’t have too much experience with the brand but perhaps soon.
Looking forward to hearing a review on Hundred Silent Ways X
Hey Sebastian, I dig your glasses. Any chance you could give me the name/model number of the frame from Ray-Ban?
I'm excited about Wulong Cha X, I do hope you cover it some day.
Hey Sebastian ! What about fan your flame x , hacivat x and hacivat oud? Have u smelled it?
I smelled the two Hacivat's quickly and enjoyed. Didn't smell the Fan Your Flames X. Will report back once i can! :)
Please do, thanks for answering 🥰
Yes please do Wulong Cha vs the X version!

Based on your reviews I got a collection from Nishane❤
Awesome!!
Liked ani but was way to peppery intense I’m really excited for the c line in all of them for I sold all my nishane because of the oakmoss etc especially in hacivat and ani
I have the OG Ani and I LOVE it 🥰 , so I will def want to get my hands on this new one when it shows up here in Canada
Maybe I'll layer my Ani on a lemon body cream to get the vibe.
Blessing my friend have you smell the new Mizensir Anticonformiste also can you do a review on it
I have it's a blue ozonic fragrance. I'll see if I can add it to any lists! :)
Hey Sebastian. Love this review, thank you so much. I saw Dior increased its Privée Collection prices by 20%. The 40ml/ 1.25oz size are now $150.
Oh yes as discussed in this video: ua-cam.com/video/O_yoQGvKnmg/v-deo.html prices are going going going up!!
I'm looking forward to trying Ani X. The green notes in the original Ani bother my nose.
oh no. Hope this is better.
I have no season or wether fragrance. Anything will work for me anywhere.
Any suggestions for sweet but also light like ocean breeze kind all in one?
Try Bergamotto Di Positano by Floris. Here's my review from about 7 years ago. Should explain everything:
ua-cam.com/video/s5aqdwgXpLs/v-deo.html
Ani X seems intriguing bcuz i always struggle on when/where exactly i should wear the original Ani. Ani is a very hard scent for me to pin down what it is im trying to do with it
can't wait for this. Ani is a favorite of mine and this sounds amazing.
I was hoping they will come out with B 612 X and for ANI X they should just turn up the woody notes
I don't think it's one of their big sellers so I doubt they would create an X of it?
@@ThePerfumeGuy I agree and that's why niche is losing the artistry that once used to focus on because now the focus is on money
Like Abba sang, Money, Money, Money!! LOL! ;)
Yes Sebastian I would love to hear your take on Wulong Cha X compared to the Original Wulong Cha. Great Video as Always. Thanx…..
Is Ani any closer to Vanille Fatal TF?
Fragrances I'd love to see you review: Houbigant's Patchouli Sauvage, Brioni's EDP Essentiel, L'eau d'Issey Pour Homme Vetiver, Akro's Bake and Cocoloco from Zaharoff!
Some good ones there. As soon as I can get my nose on them! Will report back! :)

I think that the original Ani will be hard to beat. I’m curious about Hacivat X
I love Ani it’s my signature scent .. looking forward to trying ani x ❤
Really excited to hear about Hacivat X!

Fars is an interesting scent from Xerjoff I can recommend.

Nishane ani or de marley haltane ?
ANI
@@ThePerfumeGuy what about lasting ?
@@ThePerfumeGuy thank you for answering
It's long lasting I think but depends on your own skin! :)
We’d love to see all the new x fragrances reviewed for sure my friend
Ani was masculine to me , I'm hoping Ani X leans more feminine 😊
Thanks for this review, Sebastian! I’m eagerly awaiting Ani X to arrive in the U.S.!
The original Ani might be my favorite fragrance in my collection. I bought the X collection sample pack and I wanted to love Ani X but it took out some of the things I personally loved about the original. The big cardamom/ginger blast and the beautiful sweetness are all gone and Ani X to me is mostly green with just a hint of sweetness.
Hacivat X is the review that we need :)
I never understood this one. Way, way too much ginger/cardamom for me in Ani. I can't tolerate it and I love vanilla fragrances.
Yep if you are not a fan of those notes you won't like this one as those are prominent! :)
That lemon cake opening sound great
Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day
Ani is everything!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for the video. I love Ani and needed to order a replacement. I was just waiting for this comparison from my favorite. fragrance Reviewer ❤ looks like im staying with my beloved ANI 😍
Oh yes i'd like reviews of the others X for sure !
Can’t wait to compare and get!!! ❤
I live in Bulgaria, and i cant see it here yet and none of the X (june 23)
Still not here
I like "Ani" and I'd like to try "Ani X". I'd like to try other ones from their X series.
The original is the best.
I am not a gourmand fan so couldn't get into Ani but the Ani X might be up my alley. I absolutely LOOOVE the original Hacivat however, it looks like they have changed the formula and cheapened it somehow - the top note has a very strong lemon pledge scent and the gorgeous oakmoss has been tapered way down😢. I will try the Hacivat X even though it's a different dna.
Thanks Sebastian, I have Ani and love it so I see no need for Ani X .. thanks for saving me some $$. Hope the allergies get better. Cheers Brutha 😎
i’d like to hear aBout the whole “X” collection❤❤❤ great review , as always!
Hopefully soon. Stay tuned.
After this will be the Nishane XX line and then Nishane XXX 😄. I love Ani btw. I would classify it as squarely gourmand, to me it smells exactly like those frosted lemon cookies. I don't think I'm interested in the X after this review, I like the vanilla heavy aspect of the original. If the lemon note reduces the vanilla, I might not like it.
Macerating might be a factor with the 2019 batch that’s 4 years of aging
I just bought the original Ani!
Ani is too fresh to me. I'm still waiting for a darker, thick version of it
Yes the spices of ginger and cardamom freshen it up for sure.
Can you review all the new X line from Nishane
Wow!! I just got the OG today and I love it!! Gonna have to grab X too
Did you get it
Great video. Ani is one of my favorites!
Jordan and plaestine the x line Is here
How much is ani x cost in Jordan?
What about the others ? From the same line
As soon as I can get my hands on the entire collection I'll report back. :)
@@ThePerfumeGuy thanks I appreciate it
Hacivat X next!
How long did ani x last on you
Feel better, Sebastian! We’ve got Canadian wildfires on the east coast and my asthmatic lungs are not having a good time. 😂
Where can you purchase Ani X???
It will launch officially next month everywhere! :)
Oh boy this is gonna be good.. review 🎉🎉🎉
