How Nishane Hundred Silent Ways Smells: Notes & Development

Nishane Hundred Silent Ways opens with Bergamot, Violet Leaf and Mastic — an assertive first impression that carries across a room.

Strip it back to the bones and the profile reads Floral, Sweet, Powdery, Warm — the kind of profile that rewards a second and third wearing.
