Alhambra Oud vs Ani

The community expresses nostalgia for Tom Ford's golden era (pre-2015) while noting significant quality deterioration in current releases. While some loyal customers remain satisfied with the brand's range and versatility, many are frustrated by rising prices coupled with weaker longevity and inconsistent batch quality, prompting them to explore alternatives from other houses.

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.
