Real talk
Gateways isn't a crowd-pleaser. The mitti attar gives it a soil note that some people read as wet dog, others as the most beautiful accident in perfumery. That's the draw.Gateways
Ani doesn't whisper. Cardamom and rose open with intention, then the vanilla takes over like it's been waiting all day. Sweet, yes, but there's a sharpness underneath that keeps it from being polite.Ani
