Vanilla in Bourbon vs Ani

The r/fragrance community views Vanilla in Bourbon positively as a solid boozy vanilla fragrance with good performance. Multiple users praise it as a strong contender among popular vanilla fragrances and recommend it for cooler seasons, though it's best reserved for fall and winter rather than hot summer days.

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.
