A modern oriental from Istanbul, rich and layered
Nishane calls Nefs its flagship oriental, a modern, East-meets-West take on the genre meant to appeal even to people who usually avoid orientals. A breeze crossing the Bosphorus is the brand's comparison. Honey, saffron and fig open this Extrait de Parfum, and amber, oud, leather and whiskey sit in a long base. That claim is best checked on your own skin.

How it unfolds
-
Honey, saffron, fig
Five notes open it: honey, violet, sage, saffron and fig. Honey and fig bring sweetness, violet and sage a cool floral and herbal contrast, and saffron a warm spice. Notice how quickly the sweetness arrives and whether the herbs stop it from feeling heavy.
-
Rose, osmanthus, spice
Rose, osmanthus, geranium, jasmine and nutmeg fill the heart, floral and spiced at once. This is the middle where the brand's East-meets-West idea should show, so check whether you hear a bouquet or a spice market on your skin.
-
A base of eight
Amber, whiskey, oud, cinnamon, cedarwood, gurjum, leather and vanilla make up the base. It is long and dense. A decant lets you follow how oud, leather and whiskey behave over an evening, and whether you still feel they are sweet-spicy or darker.
Testing it
How to test it, for whom and why
How to test it
Wear it on a cool evening or a special occasion, as an extrait calls for a measured amount on the chest or neck. Notice the shift from the honeyed top to the rose heart and then to the leather and amber. Test it a second time on a quieter day to see if it still pleases you.
Who it is for
People who like rich, warm perfumes with honey, spice and wood, and also those who think they dislike orientals, which is exactly the audience the brand names. It is unisex. Anyone who wants a light, clean scent will find it too much.
Why try Nishane Nefs as a sample first
The brand says it is meant for people who usually avoid orientals. That is a claim to check, not to trust, and a perfume this long on notes can swing between rich and overwhelming. Our 10 ml decant is filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle, so you test before 50 ml.

Frequently asked
Does the decant come from Nishane?
Nishane has no part in this vial. FragranceGems filled and labelled it, with Extrait taken from an original bottle.
Is Nefs sweet or spicy?
It is both. Sweetness comes from honey, fig, vanilla and amber, warm spice from saffron, nutmeg and cinnamon, and oud, leather and whiskey sit below.
Is it suitable if I dislike oriental perfumes?
That is how the brand positions it: a modern, East-meets-West oriental for people who usually avoid the genre. It is still a rich perfume, so the sample is how you find out.
The brand
About Nishane
Nishane was founded in Istanbul in 2012 by Mert Güzel and Murat Katran, and the name means mark, sign or symbol. Almost everything the house makes is an Extrait de Parfum, and each perfume carries a story: a shadow-theatre character, a line by Rumi, an Anatolian folk song. Several of the favourites now also exist in a reworked X version. Stories and versions are easier to choose between on skin, which is what a few 10 ml decants are for.

I really appreciate that I found a shop that has a wide range of authentic perfumes,fast delivery,great communication and very good prices. Thanks for everything!
Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
