Oud Rose Intense مقابل Ani

The community views Xerjoff's 2023 releases as competently made but underwhelming, with no clear must-buy fragrances despite good technical execution. While Astaral shows promise as a value option in the rose-oud category, most releases are considered difficult to wear with limited practical applications, and the house's recent direction lacks a compelling identity.

Nishane Ani is a polarizing fragrance that rewards patience and nose training, with many discovering its appeal only after repeated wears. While praised for quality vanilla and spice notes with strong projection, the opening is dominated by ginger and pepper that doesn't suit everyone, and longevity falls short of expectations for its price point and concentration.
