Nishane Istanbul B-612 Extrait de Parfum 50 ml

Product Information

Performance is solid, reflective of the price and that, genre-wise, Fougere d'Argent is year-round-friendly and while I regard it as more of a daytime option, it can certainly suit someone at night, and surely for formal scenarios as well. 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... It is a blind buy as 90% of my collection and i was pleasantly surprised given the average grade many reviewers have given this. 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. Ani commences in fresh and green mode, with notes of citrus bergamot and minty blue ginger. Pink peppercorns bring a spicy-rosy aspect. 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. After some time, Gardenia, jasmine makes the whole heart floral and soon it mixes with orris which balances the sweetness.

Firstly, I do not like or own YSL Libre, which is why I held off buying this fragrance. Sometimes, what one person smells is not what another person does. Having said this, I did blind buy this based on the notes of mandarin, Jasmine, cedar, cashmere wood, vanilla and bergamot, and I’m glad I did. Created with the idea of how scents have the ability to bring to life precious memories and emotions, the perfume house has been loved by perfume lovers all over the world and has become one of the most famous, most used and best-selling niche perfume brands in the world. Revisiting my samples, both are fantastic & worth owning alongside BDJ. I love all 3 & to me, they each fit a mood, although they're entirely interchangeable to suit yours. All 3 are going to be general crowd-pleasers.

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. DISLIKE RATING: 2/10. The spicy accords are noticeable; some people are likely to find them offensive.WOW RATING: 7/10. This is a good woody and spicy fragrance with a sweet touch, pleasant, good but not impressive. B-612 reminded me of what niche perfumery generally is to "designer-heads" such as myself; natural, realistic, and creative. This is not sexy. It is not beast mode. It is a simple, high quality fragrance that you catch slight wisps of for 8+ hours that remind you that you are clean and interesting. The name is beautiful, isn’t it? It is inspired by a poem written by Rumi. And they tried to say perfume is also a way to communicate. In Antoine de Saint-Exupery's beloved children's book Le Petit Prince, the titular Prince is the only living being to come from a far-away asteroid known only as B-612. Traveling the universe, the Prince carries with him the spirit of imagination, open-mindedness and inquiry that he cultivated on B-612, and thus, the fragrance named for the asteroid is meant to convey that same spirit- as they put it, "enlightenment through exploration." So it should come as no surprise that the perfume Nishane B-612 is a dynamic, lively, and richly beautiful scent, combining classically aromatic and floral notes of geranium and lavender with a deeply woody heart and a warm, comforting base of oakmoss and tonka bean to create something compellingly timeless. While the result feels sophisticated and masculine, it never loses sight of its joyfully childlike inspiration- this is a scent to wear on adventures, journeys, and new experiences with old friends. The Little Prince has taught generations of readers to hold fast to the wonder and goodwill that far too many lose when approaching adulthood- the perfume Nishane B-612 is an olfactive reminder that one need never let it go.

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. Although I was initially disappointed, I've changed my tune. It smells manly and capable; robust and natural. I'm truly impressed by this fragrance, and I'm grateful that there are companies like Nishane willing to make something simple yet high quality. This is going to be perfect in the mild, sunny, and blossoming season of Spring, which I hope is right around the corner.

SAZNAJ PRVI!

Anyway, the longevity of this fragrance is really good. I got around 14hrs of longevity with strong projection. This is a very Multifaceted unique perfume that is incredibly wearable and likeable, i give it a solid 4.4 Fragrantica stars. Love and signature scent worthy! Wish i had bought the 100ml but only found the 50ml. The sweetness at the end is very reserved, a little bitter and hardly worth mentioning. You shouldn't expect an oriental Sillage-Wummser here, but on the performance side he does quite well and stays on my skin all day long.
