Nishane Colognise

Mostly bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel. Underneath that, creamy heady flowers like jasmine and gardenia, rich and full.

It opens on bergamot, green tea and jasmine, moves through grapefruit and lily-of-the-valley, and settles on neroli, musk and vetiver.

• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does
• jasmine: a rich white flower, heady and full. Up close it turns slightly animal, which some people love and others find too much

It lasts well and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
