Nishane Mana

Mostly dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer. Underneath that, warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family.

It opens on saffron, cardamom and ginger, moves through agarwood (oud), suede and turkish rose, and settles on guaiac wood, labdanum and musk.

• saffron: warm leathery spice, dry with a faint medicinal bite
• cardamom: cool green spice with an aromatic, almost soapy lift

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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