Santal Austral is well-regarded for its refined blending and quality sandalwood note with impressive longevity, though some find it lacks memorable character despite being pleasant. The fragrance appeals most to those who specifically enjoy sandalwood and creamy white wood compositions, though it may feel derivative to some compared to other Matiere Premiere offerings.

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.
