Like Istanbul itself, Nishane's masterful creations straddle the border between Europe and Asia, synthesizing the palettes and traditions of both in the service of modern perfumery. Like an easterly breeze blowing across the Bosphorus, the cedar and leather notes bring the warmth of the East, while the rose notes bring a breath of fresh Western air. Nefs is an exquisite fragrance that bridges civilizations in a woody-spicy-leathery composition...
Founded in 2015 by Mert Güzel and Murat Katran, Nishane (nişane) means brand, sign or symbol in Turkish. The brand draws inspiration from the cosmopolitan effervescence of the city of Istanbul to offer a modern vision of perfumery while paying homage in each composition to Turkish culture.
