XJ 1861 Decas vs Ani

XJ 1861 Decas represents Xerjoff's more experimental side and was listed among 2022's worst releases by the community reviewer. While it has a devoted small following who appreciate its weirdness and uniqueness, most find it overly synthetic, difficult to understand, and impractical to wear due to extreme projection.

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.
