Launched in 2019, Ani by Nishane is an Oriental Floral fragrance created by perfumer Cécile Zarokian, who is of Armenian descent. The name 'Ani' refers to an ancient Armenian city, making this collaboration symbolically significant for both the brand and the perfumer. Ani opens with a bright citrus-aromatic blend of bergamot and pink pepper before transitioning into a warm heart of cardamom and Turkish rose. The base is dominated by vanilla, benzoin, sandalwood, and ambergris, creating an enveloping warmth that many reviewers consider among the best in niche perfumery.
Despite its popularity on social media and numerous positive reviews, some critics argue that Ani isn't particularly revolutionary or artistically distinct. Nonetheless, it remains a well-crafted scent that resonates with those seeking comfort and elegance.

Application Tips
This fragrance blooms slowly over time, so apply a light spritz to allow the warm base notes to develop fully. It works best for daytime or evening wear when you want a comforting aroma that stays close to your skin.
