Nishane Ani
A crisp green explosion of fresh ginger and bergamot melting into the richest, most complex vanilla in modern niche perfumery.
Named after the legendary medieval Anatolian city of Ani, this Extrait de Parfum is a testament to cultural richness and transcendent beauty. It opens with an energetic, crackling blast of fresh ginger, sparkling bergamot, green botanicals, and pink pepper. The heart blooms with dark blackcurrant, velvety Turkish rose, and cardamom. The base reveals Ani’s true glory: a luxurious, boozy Madagascar vanilla deepened by warm benzoin, creamed sandalwood, cedar, and ambergris, projecting with imperial authority for 12+ hours on skin.
