Nishane Istanbul at Esxence 2016 Photo Darryl for CaFleureBon
When I was at Esxence the Scent of Excellence in Milan last month, one of the busiest booths was Nishane. Nishane Istanbul was first presented at Esxence in 2015 is the first fine fragrance house from Istanbul Turkey. Co-founders Murat Katran and S. Mert Guzel, (both born in Instanbul) established the first Istanbul based House in 2012. Turkey is the only country that literally bridges two worlds; Asia and Europe. Each of the inaugural 16 perfumes extraits represent a place, an ingredient, a continent, a country, a time in history Two new perfumes Fan Your Flames and Hundred Silent Ways have a different inspiration, the ecstatic poetry of Rumi, was a 13th-century Persian poet, jurist, Islamic scholar, theologian, and Sufi mystic who died in Konya Turkey December 17,1273
Fan Your Flames was one of my favorite fragrances from the show so I asked Contributor Sebastian Jara of the YouTube Channel Looking Feeling Smelling Great, and founder of a popular Facebook Group for his take on this wonderful new fragrance which evokes The Turkish Water Pipe known as Nargile ( Shisha,Hookah)
Notes: Coconut and Rum – TOP; Tobacco and Tonka – HEART; Oakmoss and Chinese cedar wood – BASE
