Who said that musk-based scents were just for winter? If you’re a fan of oud or musk, this is the perfect summer offering for you. Super feminine and ultra-expensive smelling, this fragrance is packed with Italian bergamot and pink peppercorn which bring out its sweeter side, along with oriental vanilla to give it that perfect creamy finish. Not to mention, the luscious plum extract that creates a sense of mystery – a perfect go-to for hot summer evenings.

The post 13 Niche Fragrances To Try This Summer appeared first on The Velvet Life.

A brand created by Mert Guzel and Murat Katran, Nishane’s main aim is to portray the sights, sounds and smells of their Turkish culture through luxury fragrances.

Nishane Tuberoza Extrait de Parfum

I tried the Tuberoza range, and I was totally blown away. Luxurious and classy, this scent is perfect for those that want a real spicy take on the classic floral fragrance.

The sexy scent has Mexican tuberose, as well as ylang-ylang, sweet orange, gardenia, jasmine and marigold as top notes. Once the scent has dried down, it leaves a lingering musky aroma, thanks to the base notes of amber wood, vetiver and sandalwood.

The range not only offers an Extrait de Parfum, but also a hair perfume and body oil. I love this, as it means I can just reach for the oil or hair perfume for a more subtle everyday scent, or layer them both with the perfume if I want something heavier. Wearing all three of these together makes for a seriously long-lasting fragrance – but it’s not just the longevity that stands out. Because these products are brimming with luxury ingredients, they are a pleasure to apply, too.

Nishane Tuberoza Hair Perfume

I find that although hair perfumes are formulated specifically for hair, they can often be quite drying. It’s always something I’m conscious of when using hair fragrances for the first time. However, this one pleasantly surprised me. It’s got a unique formula, which contains silk to keep hair feeling soft and looking shiny. It also contains panthenol which is known to strengthen and condition strands from within.

Although this hair perfume has a slightly less concentrated formula than the perfume, I find it’s strong enough to work alone. While the Extrait de Parfum is more ‘heavy-duty’ – in that it clings to skin beyond showers and for well over 24 hours – the hair perfume is a light alternative that’ll definitely do the job day-to-day.

Nishane Tuberoza Hair & Body Oil

Is there anything better than a skin-softening body oil that smells dreamy, too? I’m so in love with this product – I think it might be my favourite from the whole range. It’s packed with a rich oil blend that combines sweet almond, jojoba, sunflower seed and vitamin E oils which all work to deeply nourish skin and hair. The formula is also extremely antioxidant-rich, which helps to shield skin and hair from sun damage and pollution. It’s also 73% natural, which means there are no nasty ingredients that dry or damaged skin and hair, and the combination of clever ingredients actually helps to repair damaged skin cells. Genius!

From the house, I do adore Nishane Hundred Silent Ways Extrait de Parfum.

The post Nishane Tuberoza Review appeared first on The Velvet Life.

The one and only Istanbul-based perfume brand that offers a journey into their deeply rooted traditions and modern visions. When wearing a Nishane perfume you are demonstrating your self-value. Throughout the collections, different stories are told including the story of the iconic perfume: A Hundred Silent Ways.

The Scent

This perfume is a modern version of some of the popular perfumes in history. The never forgotten scents that warm our hearts with memory. Nishane used floral, gourmand notes to release the power of the different beautiful souls that passed through this earth. A homage some would say.

The fragrances used in the perfume make it wearable for men and women. Its attractive scent is sure to get you noticed without saying a word. Its long-lasting sillage is more than a perfume, it is a compliment to your character.

The Notes

To create this beautiful, enveloping scent Nishane selected the purest notes:

Top Notes (the first notes you smell):

Tuberose – mandarin – peach:
This fruity, sparkling cocktail bursts with freshness from the very first spray.

Heart Notes (second up):

White jasmine – gardenia – Morris:
What a bouquet! With this floral duo, you get a powdered, elegant touch. Morris adds a citrus finish, often used in masculine fragrances.

Base Notes (the long-lasting notes)

vanilla – sandalwood – vetiver
And here comes the warm, attractive, sensual finish. The scent that hypnotizes you from the very beginning. The warmth from the vanilla and sandalwood brings balance to the floral, fruity notes. And Vetiver has a more earthy, masculine side. That's why it is used in the top branded perfumes.

The Bottle

Presented in a cube-shaped bottle, it reflects the perfume perfectly. Balanced and harmonious. Nishane designed a simple but effective bottle. Labelled with a red sticker, it spikes your curiosity. You can purchase the perfume in different sizes from 15ml to 100ml.
