Nishane Nefs Extrait de Parfum 50ml is a sumptuous modern oriental from the Istanbul-based niche perfumery house Nishane — composed by perfumer Chris Maurice as the brand's flagship oriental pillar. "Nefs" translates from Turkish as "the soul" or "the inner self", and the composition lives up to it: dense, resinous, and indulgent. Saffron, honey, fig, violet and sage open it; a heart of rose, osmanthus, jasmine, nutmeg and geranium follows; and a deep base of oud, whiskey, vanilla, leather, amber, cinnamon, gurjun balsam and cedar anchors the trail.

Who it's for
Nefs is genuinely unisex and suits anyone drawn to dense, smoky, dressed-up oriental fragrances over fresh aquatic or sweet gourmand styles. It is at its best in autumn and winter evenings, ideal for formal occasions, late dinners and any context where a fragrance with statement-projection and dramatic character is welcome. If you wear Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud Satin Mood, Tom Ford Oud Wood, or Amouage Interlude, Nefs sits comfortably alongside them with a more Turkish-Eastern romantic signature.
How to use
- Spray onto clean, moisturised skin from around 15 cm away.
- Apply to pulse points — wrists, neck, behind the ears.
- One spray of an Extrait de Parfum is usually enough; this is the highest concentration in fragrance and projects strongly all evening.
- For a longer scent trail, mist lightly onto silk or wool — natural fibres carry oriental fragrances especially well.
Size: 50ml. Presented in Nishane's signature heavy-glass flacon with a brushed metallic cap and minimalist Turkish-modern detailing.
