Nishane
Nanshe Extrait
“Earth and citrus, mythology and sandalwood — the Nishane for people who do their research.”
The take
What works
- ●Carrot seed and yuzu opening is distinctive and surprisingly wearable
- ●Rose-ylang-ylang heart is rooted and earthy rather than powdery
- ●Extrait-level longevity at a price that doesn't require a loan
Trade-offs
- ●Carrot seed is a polarizing note — not everyone's first call
- ●Less celebrated than Hacivat or Fan Your Flames in the Nishane lineup
