Best summer fragrance from the house!

I just got my hands on this,and by far this is the best summer frag from the house!
Yes hacivat is much more potent and much more playful but let’s be honest how many hacivat vibe fragrances are out there? Even with club de nuit 20€ fragrance you can smell hacivat-ish!
Ege is much more subtle,doesn’t scream as loud although longevity is still pretty damn good.I find ege much more classy,much more unique much more interesting that hacivat.
the green and aquatic notes mix very good together the blend is to die for but i am going to mention this is not for everybody,unexperienced noses may find this very harsh but the ones that like it will never get rid of it.
Scent 9/10
Longevity 9/10
Projection 7/10
Value 8/10 because you can still find it for 120-140€ on the market.

The smell of seaweed and egg

Tested this one and was immediately put off by the opening, to the point where I was getting sick. There´s something eggish combined with the seaweed which really made me want to scrub it off instantly.

It seems to get good reviews around, so probably just me and my nose that didn´t dance well with this one. Oh well, can´t win them all.

High Quality

A simple perfume of excellent quality. It starts very clean with lots of green citrus and mint. When the licorice is added, the scent gets more depth. The liquorice also provides enough complexity to stand out from other clean citrus perfumes. This perfume along with Wulong Cha is how I expected Maison Francis Kurkdjian fragrances to smell. Unfortunately, these cannot match the quality of Nishane's perfumes.

Green but no aquatic accord

Ege kinda caught me off guard. Was expecting an aquatic over anything else, based on the Aegean name and the blue bottle. However, on actually wearing this fragrance, I really didn't get any aquatic accord. If it's there, it's really buried. Ege is mainly a fresh, green scent. The mint note is done nicely and is blended with the other notes so it doesn't come across as toothpaste. Also, the overall green impression is one of perfect balance contrasted, for example, by my experience with Xerjoff's Nio which is overwhelming green in your face. That said, the very nice initial green with the attractive mint is short lived. Ege begins to evolve in the dry down into a strong cucumber scent with occasional whiffs of sour, almost like pickling. This impression causes me to rate the scent as average. Performance is OK for a green/fresh scent - longevity about 6 hours with decent projection for about an hour or so. Not really for me.

A nice green citrus scent, but not a must-have

This review is based on a sample from the Nishane discovery set.

Ege is a lovely and interesting green citrus fragrance. If you are looking for a green citrus that doesn't have overt floral notes, this might be the one for you. Though no floral notes are listed, there is something vaguely sweet in this scent. Perhaps it is the blend of green cardamom, mint and frankincense seeping through.

The initial opening is definitely citrus, led by a dominant yuzu. But you also get other green notes and spices. The middle notes are very mellow, though a bit nondescript. I am not impressed by the performance of this perfume. The dry down on me after 8 hours is a weak mixture of all the notes. I cannot pickup anything identifiable in the dry down. Just to provide a contrast, Nishane's Colognise smells pretty vivid on my skin well after 10 hours.

Ege is described as an aquatic perfume on Nishane's website. I don't think aquatic is a good adjective to describe any perfume, as it is entirely reliant on personal individualistic nostalgia. Anyway, there is no water or mountain streams in Ege. But it is nice green citrus. I would use if I didn't have Nishane Colognise or Xerjoff Mefisto at hand.
