Hacivat Oud Nishane 2023

When I was 14, I once had a glittery body spray that smelled the same. Yes, now the would-be experts come running straight out and shout: "But it can't be. This here is a noble blablabla".
It is what it is - the fragrance seems arbitrary. And not even in a particularly beautiful way. Pineapple and pepper are the first to pop, I find the combination somehow alcoholic smelling. Oud joins in - by no means a soft one. No, it's tart and sweet, and together they create a cocktail of a fragrance that is definitely noticeable. Not unisex for me, definitely more masculine. But nothing that I have never smelled before. Unfortunately, you can smell this one even from 10 meters away and forever. A fragrance for egomaniacs who think a little too highly of themselves. It screams "Smell me!!!!" and that catapults this fragrance straight into an unattractive corner for me.

In the drydown, by the way, it's a little softer and certainly okay on a man I like anyway. But nothing more. Sorry Nishane.
Apart from that, I really like you.
