From a 85% community match (middle value of every % people gave or implied) and what people say
Overlap: People rate these 80% alike or more, so owning both is likely to feel redundant.
Sample first? Sample Vanille Absolute first. If it works on your skin, you may not need Ani.

This compared to the real Ani : r/MontagneParfums (opens in a new tab)I have VA and got to smell it side by side with Ani at the mall, and it’s pretty dang close, the only downside on VA is the performance and it’s just a bit different

VANILLE ABSOLUTE INSPIRED BY NISHANE ANI : r/MontagneParfums (opens in a new tab)Very similar to the OG from my Ani decant. Good performance but the projection is close to skin. 7-8 hours no problem.

Nishane Ani vs Vanille Absolute : r/MontagneParfums (opens in a new tab)It’s close enough. But if the og is not big of difference, I’d always go for the og. No brainer right there.

Nishane Ani vs Vanille Absolute : r/MontagneParfums (opens in a new tab)Love VA but I agree, I’d rather drop $75 on the original unless performance is known to be weak.
