Nishane Nefs

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

It opens on honey, saffron and fig, moves through rose, osmanthus and nutmeg, and settles on agarwood (oud), whiskey and vanilla.

• honey: thick golden sweetness that turns slightly animal at higher doses
• saffron: warm leathery spice, dry with a faint medicinal bite

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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