first proper Amber Floral dupe i've owned and it set the bar high. the formula is well balanced, nothing is fighting for attention. i'll be buying this for friends as gifts from now on.
- Justin CohenVerified buyer
i'm very picky with Amber Floral and this one passed the test. has a touch of that skin scent quality once it dries down. decent everyday wear, just doesn't have that wow factor for me.
- Mackenzie SloanVerified buyer
tested a bunch of Amber Floral alternatives last month — this was the clear winner. this is what i've been looking for, for years.
- Emma MartinVerified buyer
first time wearing this and it already smells like a proper Nishane Ani reference. has a touch of that skin scent quality once it dries down. if you're reading reviews to decide — just buy it.
- Damian ZimmermanVerified buyer
bought it as a daily-wear version of the Nishane Ani and it works perfectly. doesn't have the screechy alcohol blast that you get with a lot of alternatives. a new signature for me, no doubt.
