The lesser known but better Nishane Ani alternative
The Nasheet recently had a little hype.
Only because of the rather weak performance, the hype never really became as big as with a Khamrah or a Bade'e Al Oud - Oud for Glory.
The Satwa, on the other hand, flew almost completely under the radar.
Although this is also an alternative to Ani Extrait de Parfum.
And for me, it's even the better alternative, as it's a little closer to the original.
We don't have to talk about it, the original, of course, remains the original.
It performs better, has more depth, higher quality etc.
But of course the price is not without it.
And not everyone wants to or can pay this price.
And that's where the "dupes" come into play.

Satwa as well as Nasheet are both alternatives and not 1:1 dupes.
But which one is better?
For me, as mentioned at the beginning, the Satwa.
The Nasheet is spicier, the ginger is simply more prominent in the fragrance, while the Satwa smells more citrusy and feels completely devoid of ginger.

But enough with the comparisons, I'll get straight to the fragrance.
It starts with a wonderful, citrusy note that reminds me strongly of a lemon cake.
Sweet and creamy but somehow also refreshing.
It is this mix of fresh lemon/bergamot and the creamy, sweet vanilla that gives the impression of a kind of lemon cake.

The fragrance somehow has no transition at all.
What I perceive in the opening I also smell in the DD.
In the air later on, I can perhaps detect something slightly metallic, i.e. really very minimal and it becomes subtly fresher, but otherwise the fragrance hardly changes at all.

Definitely unisex for me, even if I see it minimally more on a man.
Nevertheless, also perfect for a lady.

You can wear the fragrance at almost any time of year, even in summer, as it is fresher than the original.

The performance is quite ok.
It lasted on my clothes until the next wash.
The sillage is strong in the first hour, but still good in the second hour.
And then I'm either fragrance-blind or the performance is simply not the best anymore.
Nevertheless, I could still smell it after 4-5 hours.
So it's probably more down to my nose.

My conclusion: a lot of quality for little money, that's how I like it.
If you like Ani, you've come to the right place.
If you love the scent of lemon cake, you've also come to the right place.
At the moment this is my favorite fragrance house Ard Al Zaafaran, I can only recommend it to everyone.

A job well done by the Brand
Don't be the fooled by the Not-so-popular brand name or the price tag, this perfume is a beast for a vanilla fragrance.
It has the right amount of projection & longevity that a vanilla based fragrance should have, not more not less.
On my skin it lasts anywhere between 9 to 11 hours and you can easily smell the fragrance from time to time whether its on your skin or on your clothes.
The packaging is also very nice, a presentable good looking box and a normal looking bottle.
And it definitely reminds me of Nishane Ani.

power = satwa
Yes u Reeded title right satwa means power in some uses to possess by power.
And these one has all the power to win fans for it
this fragrance reminded me of Nishan ani although i never tried ani but got to smell it its really has that vanilla attractif vibe to it.
whenever i smell satwa can't help but to smile.
that's the impression it leaves on me it's a sweet frag but not Ur fruity or gourmand sweetness something more to it. my friends smelled it on me and tried it same reaction
got complimented onces by a passer by.
longevity is really great for the 25$ more then +9hr on my skin
maybe it will be more for you maybe less since as you may already know these kind of elements is impacted by many factors
-third point sillage its really good but no your monster projector a respectful one but ones one smells you will sure impress
it leaves a good scent trail that's another plus to it so for sillage 7/10
-fourth point the bottle absolutly great for that price point nothing to add
overall, a solid frag for these prices i will leave it to macerate since its a fall/winter frag and edit if i see changes.
well done ard al zaafaran

edit : after some maturing sillage got kind of better still two months left for cold days. here
i'll reedit this review if the improvement. is significant

Give it some time to dry down (5-10 minutes) and you will experience one of the most intense Vanilla scents.
