What do reviewers say about Drowning in Vanilla and Ani X?
Most vanillas go soft. This one doesn't. The cardamom and pink pepper keep things interesting, and the citrus in the opening is actually citrus, not a vague brightness but a real presence that stays.Drowning in Vanilla
Nishane took their global best-seller Ani and asked: what if we gave the people more citrus? The answer is Ani X, same vanilla soul, louder lemon-lime opening.Ani X
