Another Jorge Lee gem based on re-imagining of the fresh lemon cologne (original Colognisé) kept on-hand in most Turkish households Since its debut last year, Nishane's Colognise- a lovely and invigorating re-imagining of the fresh lemon cologne kept on-hand in most Turkish households- has been an office favorite, a striking yet casual scent perfect for any situation. Now, with Safran Colognise, they've brought back the core of the fragrance with a pronounced dash of fiery saffron, and the result is strikingly unique- a fragrance with the delightful energy of the original, but a robust, exotic character all its own. Safran Colognise's bright, citrussy opening will be familiar to fans of the original, but it arrives right away with a twist all its own- the tropical juiciness of passionfruit, which helps open the palate to the rich spiciness of saffron, combined with pink pepper for a powerful heart that maintains an airy freshness- less herbaceous than its predecessor ...

Ambery, warm, resinous and with a virile masculine soul Vibrant spicy opening accompanied by a fleeting bergamot note and "metallic" aromatic & clean lavender that starts to show you the virility, potency and intensity that this scent has. Rapidly the early drydown starts to show the resinous, smokey, warm and balsamic heart of Par Amour Pour Lui where a heavy dose of leather and styrax and a kinda immortelle hay note become the main characters of this phase. The late drydown and the base gets a little bit creamed up and balmed up thanks to now more restrained labdanum note mixed with blonde honeyed tobacco, sandalwood and mild tonka beans. A well executed scent with some highlights in its long evolution from opening to the base on my skin. Ambery, warm, resinous and with a virile masculine soul. Notes: Coriander, Provence Tarragon, Cistus, Bergamot, Provence Lavender, Andalusian leather, Tobacco, Patchouli, Styrax Resin, Carnation leaves, Hay, Sandalwood and white m...
