New: Nishane Launch Aromatic masterpiece, Deziro

Master perfumer Alberto Morillas captures the essence of desire itself with his majestic addition to the Time Capsule Collection 

Istanbul is a place where continents meet and cultures converge. Scanning the skyline, you’ll see minarets of ancient mosques set against the gleam of modern towers. It’s perhaps a symbolic snapshot of a city that bridges East and West, old and new, echoing tales of fallen empires, while forging a new story as a thriving metropolis. It’s an irresistible mix — one that ignites the creative force behind the city’s only niche perfumery.

Nishane: A brief history 

Founded in 2012 by Mert Güzel and Murat Katran, Nishane has rapidly won heavyweight status in the world of luxury fragrance. With its global debut at Milan’s Esxence in 2015, the brand introduced its Signature Collection to the world, captivating fragrance lovers with its artistic flair and inventive storytelling. The following years saw Nishane expand with collections like Rumi, Shadow Play, and Imaginative, and solidify its presence at home with flagship boutiques in Nisantasi and Four Seasons Besiktas.

By the time Nishane opened its luxury 5-star resort boutique in Bodrum’s Mandarin Oriental and its Paris concept retail store, the house was rubbing shoulders with the world’s most revered niche brands. Harrods even sealed an exclusive deal to showcase Favonius, further proving the brand's skyrocketing appeal.

With this global recognition firmly in place, the brand continued to make waves. From Vogue to The New York Times, Nishane had captured international attention with its visionary concepts, brought to life through a glittering roster of renowned perfumers. Building on this momentum, the house unveils its latest creation, Deziro — a fragrance that promises to push the boundaries of olfactory art further still...

Deziro

Deziro sees the brand flex its muscles as a niche perfume powerhouse by enlisting the expertise of master perfumer Alberto Morillas. The man behind global phenomena like CK One, Acqua di Giò, and Marc Jacobs’ Daisy, as well as the acclaimed passion project Mizensir, crafts an exhilarating new aromatic fougère as part of the Time Capsule Collection.

Here, Morillas interprets the essence of desire itself, creating an aquatic scent with a carnal twist. A refreshing wave of marine accord is set against an earthy backdrop of vetiver and cypriol, with warm sandalwood and star anise adding a touch of sweetness, before a pheromonal whisper of ambrettolide and carrot seed takes hold.

Wulong Cha 

Colombian perfumer Jorge Lee has created numerous fragrances for Nishane, playing a pivotal role in shaping the brand's identity. He has collaborated on over ten scents for the house, including notable creations like Hacivat, Karagoz, and Ambra Calabria.

Best known for crafting fragrances that are both innovative and timeless, he succeeds with Wulong Cha in fashioning a remarkably powerful scent for a citrus fragrance. Conceived as part of the Miniature Art Collection, Wulong Cha delivers a mesmerising suite of citric aromas, enriched by Mediterranean fruits and musky notes, allowing the hero note of oolong tea to shine.

Hundred Silent Ways

When the creative concept is to produce a perfume that, with one drop, makes you feel like you are “wearing the attractiveness of all beautiful souls that ever lived on earth,” the final product has a lot to live up to. Luckily, Hundred Silent Ways doesn’t disappoint. Perfumer Jorge Lee produces one of the most iconic of his many creations for Nishane with a floral amber of universal appeal.

The fragrance opens with a burst of creamy tuberose — lush and intoxicating — balanced by the soft sweetness of peach and mandarin. As it develops, notes of gardenia and orris butter emerge, adding depth and richness to the heart of the perfume. But it’s in the base where Hundred Silent Ways truly shines, with its sensual blend of vanilla, sandalwood, and vetiver — a divine trinity that leaves a lasting impression on all who encounter it.

Ani

The No Boundaries Collection aspires to a world in which dreams and imagination are the only limits. Ani, one of two exceptional creations from the collection, has become an icon of the brand since its release in 2019. Acclaimed perfumer Cécile Zarokian, known for her artistry in composing complex scents (she was the mastermind behind Material by Amouage), creates a compelling amber fragrance inspired by the medieval ruins of Ani — a city that stands as a monument to the majesty of empire and the inevitability of time.

Fans of vanilla, take note: this multidimensional perfume needs to be on your wishlist. It opens with a bright burst of green notes and ginger, followed by a romantic floral blend of cardamom and Turkish rose. Finally, a striking fusion of vanilla and sandalwood delivers an irresistible finish, encapsulating the essence of Ani and a timeless journey through the ages.

Hacivat

We all want to be loved. And with Hacivat, that becomes a whole lot easier. Jorge Lee waves his magic wand yet again to produce a scent so joyful that it should probably come with a warning. The concept? A tribute to elegance, kindness, and the love of art, inspired by the ancient form of storytelling known as shadow play.

Lee captures a sparkling energy with bright citrus top notes of grapefruit and bergamot before peeling back the layers to reveal punchy pineapple and sweet jasmine, all supported by a genuinely woody heart and base grounded in patchouli, oakmoss, and woody accords. It’s the essence of joy in a bottle — a fragrance that wraps you in that Friday feeling and shares it with the world.
