Nishane Istanbul B-612 Extrait de Parfum 50 ml

Product Information

Tom Ford Private Blends have finally explicitly dipped into fougere territory, this time with the brand's own re-imagining of the formula, oakmoss being replaced with akigala wood, said by one source to be a enzymatic variation of patchouli. Inspired by deeply rooted traditions, modern visions and Turkey's cosmopolitan urban development, NISHANE aims to be an indication of the value you place on yourself and your loved ones with its unique and sophisticated fragrances, all of which have an elegant touch and are designed with care. Out of all of the suggested reminders up here I would say Gozo from Jeroboam comes closest. Gozo is however more sweet, powdery and floral, a lot less spicy and is void of the urban twist that makes Tempfluo so unique. Gozo is also more feminine in my opinion a lot because of the makeupey powdery ness that you can’t find any of in Tempfluo. Gozo has however believe it or not an even stronger longevity! Edit: so for longevity it lasted on my skin about 5 hrs before it turned into a skin scent. If not for it being on my clothes, it would have disappeared altogether. The execution is impressive, which should come as no surprise as the scent was created by Cécile Zarokian. The Paris-based perfumer has produced standouts such as Amouage Epic Woman, Jovoy Private Label and Masque Milano Tango, as well as the delightfully powdery Nishane Nanshe.

My perception of B-612 is more terrestrial than its inspiration. I see it as a very interesting way of bringing a new sensation through the manipulation of a very traditional ingredient such as lavender. And now that the weather is warming up, it's been my addiction for the past two weeks and a very comforting, energizing scent. The core of the fragrance is a combination of lavender with cypress. The lavender is rich and rounded and the cypress is fresh and balsamic, with camphoraceous aspects that come from the synergy of the two materials. It's this synergy that creates a simple magic, a very natural feeling that also seems effortless. B-612 has this freshness that is new, modern and dynamic, while still nodding to classics such as Caron's Pour un Homme, a lavender icon. But while Pour un Homme is more vanillic, B-612 goes deeper into the woody vibe. I have been loving this fragrance since 2018. At the time when I received my first bottle as a gift, I had no idea what a fougere was and no preconceptions about perfumery in general. I simply thought it smelled very good, and so I wore it. Just about every day.

PLAĆANJE I ISPORUKA

Fougere d'Argent, as its name implies, is a post-modern fougere, aka a fougere created to immediately spark the idea of what you are smelling is a fougere, just in case 'fougere' being part of the name wasn't clear enough to prepare you for what you are going to smell. VERSATILITY: 7/10. This is a relatively inoffensive fragrance, the woody and spicy accords are not harsh. Murat Katran and Mert Guzel, the two wonderful gentlemen behind Nishane. Photo by Sandra Raicevic Petrovic D'Argent is the safest but it's a bit deceptive. It really evolves a lot & while it doesn't strike the wearer as potent, it is. It projects more than you realize & even 8 hours in with a couple sprays on each arm, I'm getting wafts of wood, citrus & lavender, even though it seems like it's down to a skin scent when sniffed directly. Definitely agree with the comment about this being along the lines of a ADP fragrance, in a very good way.

Here the combo of saffron with florals and herbs and sweet spices stand out more and pushes the saffron to the max as this is a strongly projecting fragrance. The impact is prominent to say the least not to use the word bomb…That leaves Beau De Jour (in my case, the Private Blend version) as the screamer. It's definitely the most unapologetic one of the trio. I absolutely love it & get tons of compliments on it... But if you appreciate BDJ, you'd probably love Platine & d'Argent, too... Admittedly, you may need a couple wears to realize it, but at least you'll smell great doing it.

An East-meets-West oriental, it makes a grand statement from the start with contrasts of powdery honey and violet, the leathery spice of saffron and gourmand-ish fig. This is by no means a safe blind buy! You need to be on board with quite a bit of saffron in combination with something I would have interpreted as cardamom and lavender mixed in a way that in no way reminds of the sophisticated blend of these types of notes in for instance BR540 by MFK or Gris Charnel by BDK. In reality there is neither cardamom nor lavender in Tempfluo, but for some reason the combination of I guess praline, orange blossom and cashmere wood and vanilla mixed with the saffron translates that way to my nose. It bears no resemblance whatsoever to In Paradise Riviera from Ex Nihilo which is a much lighter tropical fresh musk. Riviera is a very feminine elegant scent focused on fresh beautiful flowers, sunshine and clean musk. Tempfluo is all about fun and playfulness mixed with an urban edge. There is also no musk in Tempfluo. WOW RATING: 7/10. This is a good woody and spicy fragrance with a sweet touch, pleasant, good but not impressive. Very high up in my "barbershop" Fougere collection. Very similar to, and right behind in my collection, Penhaligon Sartorial. Fougere D'Argent is closer to Sartorial in scent profile than to its Tom Ford cousin Beau de Jour. Beau de Jour is #1 in my collection, but they are different enough to not be redundant in a collection. D'Argent is closer to a traditional Fougere to me than Beau de Jour, probably with more sweetness than a classical Fougere. Guess they swapped out the traditional Fougere

DODATNE INFORMACIJE

After some time, Gardenia, jasmine makes the whole heart floral and soon it mixes with orris which balances the sweetness. In chapter 4 of the world-famous work "The Little Prince" by A. de Saint-Exupéry, the narrator wants to know that the main protagonist is actually from the asteroid B-612. Be-six-douze actually exists, even if under a different name. A fragrance from space. I'm curious...
