Founded in 2012 by Mert Guzel and Murat Katran, Nishane is the first and only niche perfumery based in Istanbul. Now globally revered for its unisex extrait de parfums, it succeeds in using scent to unlock the wearer’s most valued reminiscences. Deep-rooted traditions often play a key role in inspiring the fragrances: for example, Hacivat – a scent that contrasts fresh top notes of pineapple and grapefruit with a complex heart and dry, woody base – takes its cues from a lead character in the famous Turkish shadow play. Other perfume highlights include Ani and Hundred Silent Ways, both perfect as gifts for yourself or any women and men in your life who cherish quality olfactory experiences.
