Nishane perfumes: which one to try first

How to choose between these Nishane perfumes

This guide covers ten of the Nishane perfumes 10ML stocks, launched between 2015 and 2022. They do not smell alike. Four are voted for summer, each with a citrus accord, and six are voted for fall and winter. Three of the ten are listed for men (Hacivat, Fan Your Flames and Mana), one for women (Hundred Silent Ways), and six as unisex. The Nishane page lists every bottle, including several flankers. The order below is a suggestion for what to wear first. Buying blind? Our primer on how to choose perfume without smelling it shows what a notes list can tell you.

One way to choose is by season and mood:

• Citrus, for summer days: Hacivat, Wulóng Chá, Ambra Calabria and EGE AIGAIO.
• Warm spice, for fall and winter nights: Ani, with vanilla, and Tero, with caramel, both unisex.
• Sweet, for the colder months: Fan Your Flames, with coconut and tobacco, and Hundred Silent Ways, a white floral.
• Spiced rose, oud and leather, for fall and winter nights: Nefs and Mana.

Which Nishane perfume should you try first?

Pick by the mood you want to wear:

1. Start with Hacivat for pineapple and grapefruit on spring and summer days.
2. Choose Wulóng Chá for citrus and oolong tea.
3. Choose Ambra Calabria for a green opening and an amber base.
4. Choose EGE AIGAIO for yuzu, herbs and anise.
5. Choose Ani for ginger, rose and vanilla on fall and winter nights.
6. Choose Tero for caramel, pepper and cinnamon.

Trying Nishane before you buy a bottle

Small sizes let you sort out ten different characters on your own skin. Every one of them is available in both sizes.

To start, pair one citrus scent with one from the other three groups, say Hacivat and Ani, and you will see quickly which direction suits you. Give each its own day, on clean skin. For a gift or a shared bottle, unisex perfumes worth sharing covers scents that sit well on both, and niche vs designer perfume puts a house like this in context.
