How it moves
It arrives on pineapple, grapefruit and bergamot — bright, immediate, gone before you have decided about it. Oakmoss, cedar and jasmine are where it actually lives. Last to go: patchouli, incense and musk.
What wearers say
11,500 people have rated it, and they land at 4.31 out of 5. That is close to consensus, which almost nothing in this hobby achieves.
- Loved for its juicy pineapple-and-grapefruit opening over a mossy woody base; reads as fresh, upscale, and instantly recognizable.
- Most find longevity and projection excellent for a fruity chypre, easily lasting a full workday with a room-filling aura.
- Praised as a versatile year-round unisex scent, though some feel it turns a bit generic-fruity in the dry-down for the price.
Who made it
Jorge Lee composed it in 2017, for Nishane in Turkey. Named after a character from Turkish shadow theatre; the scent that put Istanbul's Nishane on the global niche map.
