Fragrances Inspired by the Anatolian Tradition of Shadow Puppets

Finally got my hands on the opulent creations by the ethereal perfume house Nishane based in Istanbul, Turkey. Nishane applies the Anatolian tradition of shadow puppets such as Karagoz and Hacivat and utilizes them as inspiration for their fragrances. Their creations are very personal and distinctive. Each of their offerings ignites a metaphysical nostalgia within that cannot be put into words. It’s both a familiar and unfamiliar experience. Nishane is an essential part of anyone’s olfactory journey. Nishane is the Eastern Mediterranean as fragrance.
