Nishane Bosphorus Le Parfum

Nishane Bosphorus Le Parfum is a fragrance that celebrates the unique geography and cultural richness of Istanbul, created by the Turkish niche house founded by Mert Güler and Murat Katran. This fragrance embodies the spirit of the Bosphorus strait, where East meets West, and ancient traditions blend with modern sophistication. The composition opens with a fresh, sparkling burst of bergamot, black currant, and citrus that immediately establishes a sense of energy and optimism, like the first light of dawn over the Bosphorus. The heart reveals a complex blend of iris, leather, and rose, creating a sophisticated, slightly powdery character that is both elegant and deeply mysterious. The base notes of vetiver, sandalwood, and musk provide a warm, lingering dry-down that grounds the fragrance with sophisticated depth. This is a versatile fragrance designed for the sophisticated individual, equally suited to everyday wear and special occasions, working beautifully in all seasons though particularly suited to autumn and winter when its warm, enveloping character can be fully appreciated. Marketed as a unisex fragrance, Bosphorus appeals to those who appreciate artistic, sophisticated scents with cultural significance. Longevity is impressive at 8-10 hours with a sillage that projects elegance without being aggressive, making it perfect for those who want to make a sophisticated statement. Bosphorus has become one of Nishane’s most acclaimed fragrances, a modern classic that celebrates the unique spirit of Istanbul.

Favonius Extrait De Parfum (EDP) by Nishane opens with litchi, incense, pink pepper, and bergamot. The heart of the scent reveals rose, cypriol oil (nagarmotha), clary sage, artemisia, and geranium. The fragrance settles into agarwood (oud), incense, patchouli, cedar, and sandalwood.
