Juicy citrus, herbs and a vanilla base
Nishane Ani X is an Extrait de Parfum from Istanbul, composed by Cécile Zarokian in 2023 and listed as unisex. It comes from the house's X Collection, which reworks earlier perfumes. Citrus, melon and spice open it, lavender, sage and green apple lead the heart, and vanilla with soft woods, ambergris and white musk closes it. A long note list like this is much clearer on skin.

The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
The top holds seven notes: bergamot and lemon, watery notes and honeydew melon for a cool, juicy freshness, then cardamom, blue ginger and pink pepper for a light dry spice. The first minutes are crisp and full of juice, not sweet.
The heart turns aromatic and green. Lavender and sage add a clean herbal quality, green apple a tart crunch, and blackcurrant, rose and patchouli bring depth and a little dark fruit beneath. This is where the freshness calms down.
The base joins cedarwood and cashmere wood into a soft, dry, slightly velvety wood, with sandalwood for creaminess and vanilla for warmth that does not turn syrupy. Ambergris and white musk give a clean, smooth finish near the skin.
Testing it
With a bright start and a soft end, it can be tested in different settings: once on a warm day, once in the evening or on a mild autumn day. Apply to clean skin and give the citrus and melon a few minutes before you form an opinion of the heart.
A sample suits people who want citrus and herbs on top of a gentle vanilla, a mix between fresh and warm. It fits work days, relaxed dinners and travel. If you find heavier vanilla scents too much but still like a soft finish, this is worth testing.
With seven top notes, six in the heart and six in the base, Ani X changes through the day and across skins, and the vanilla may come forward on some people more than others. A 10 ml decant lets you follow all of that before you commit to 100 ml.

A 10 ml decant of Nishane Ani X Extrait de Parfum in a glass spray vial, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us. It is not a brand sample and Nishane is not involved.
Both. Citrus, melon and light spice lead, the heart is herbal and green, and the base is vanilla with soft woods and musk. Nishane sums its profile up as citrus, spicy and vanilla.
The X refers to the X Collection, the line where Nishane takes up earlier perfumes and revises them. Ani X is the revised version of Ani.
Yes. It is filled from the 100 ml Extrait de Parfum bottle, so the concentration you test is the one of the full bottle.
The brand
Nishane was founded in Istanbul in 2012 by Mert Güzel and Murat Katran, and the name means mark, sign or symbol. Almost everything the house makes is an Extrait de Parfum, and each perfume carries a story: a shadow-theatre character, a line by Rumi, an Anatolian folk song. Several of the favourites now also exist in a reworked X version. Stories and versions are easier to choose between on skin, which is what a few 10 ml decants are for.

Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
