The 4 worth trying, ranked
Similarity is the owners' vote plus the note overlap. Price is a typical US bottle price when the house publishes one. Bars are each match's own accords.
Where it differs: Drowning In Vanilla: X is sold as inspired by Ani X and, as the name says, pushes the vanilla forward, with a quieter fruity-ginger opening.
Where it differs: Revolt Uprising adds caramel and cinnamon to the vanilla base and drops the rose and sage, so the drydown is sweeter and more gourmand than Ani X.

Where it differs: Spectre Ghost follows the original Ani rather than Ani X, so it lacks the melon, apple and lavender freshness and dries into a heavier, creamier vanilla.
