NISHANE, “SHEM” Prestige Collection Review, New Release 2021.
This is a fragrance with character, elegance, sexy, it has a green shining vibes, like the color of its bottle, but at the same time warm, sophisticated and refined, it reminds me of those gala dinners at night, when you want to draw attention but without screaming, because you are phenomenal in a natural way, you are already like that, this is truly a neck breaker, Shem means candle, because when you use it you shine like thousands of candles around you and you make yourself noticed and with this fragrance I feel powerful, elegant, opulent, sexy and unique, and of course, I consider this scent very unique, and obviously when you wear a scent like this one, you want to smell different and unique to those around you, and others will know it, they will know that because you’re shining on everyone around you.

The flowers are giving that refined and elegant touch, its green and earthy notes that are distributed on the three levels are giving that powerful aromatic touch that together with the amber gives that warm and smooth creamy temperature that it needs to make it powerful, opulent and outstanding to finalize its leather note that It gives a soft animalistic touch but without offending, that feels so rich and makes it sexy and very unique.

Regarding its performance, we are talking about an Extrait de Parfum, which is a high concentration, on my skin has lasted 12 hours, taking care in the sprays, but in general it has a decent performance of 10 hours, however if you love to overspray like me , this fragrance becomes a beast mode and you could easily reach more than 10 hours, it has a projection of 2 meters easily, in conclusion a decent performance, personally it fascinates me when a fragrance lasts more than 8 hours.

I could consider it as a night fragrance, but please, use it when you want, this conveys greatness, if you feel like this and want to project it then use it, and always use the fragrances that make you happy! It is for us and to convey to others how incredible we are, just be careful with sprays in warm places.

Thank you very much for reading my review, I invite you to try this fragrance, it is worth a lot, I wish you good health and blessings.

Business class
Close the doors, dim the lights and enjoy!
Feel the relaxation , sink peacefully & dream away.
Experience high quality ingrediënts wich instantly creates hapiness. This is entertainment at the highest level. A discovery of “re”newing elegancy & luxury in every sense of the way.
The price tag? I imagine they said to Lucas Sieuzac ….”No limits, just create”.
Creamy leather with a superiour touch of vetiver. This is realy up, up and up!

Just the name “Shem” i find not suitable here. Candle, light out of darkness? No not at all! This is gold! Next level niche!

Thicc dare devil
Shem wasn''t a love at first sniff for me. It came over as a bit muted, introvert. Also I did not like the composition.
But there was something about it. A few times I just suddenly thought, without actually smelling it, about the scent profile (without knowing that I was thinking about Shem). So I was jus walking somewhere and I thought: "oh yeah that is a good smell. What is that again? .... It is Shem!"
I ended up buying it and it is great. Thick, daring, bold. I think one spray is enough, I dont think I will ever wear it to the office.. :)

Shoot!
One of the strongest fragrances I've had the pleasure of testing - lasted for weeks on the paper strip.
I couldn't smell any ingredients in Shem. There was just this intense smell that penetrated my brain-nothing subtle, nothing subtle, just this pang-I was hooked.
Friends and family reacted to the paper strip as follows: "Yuck!", "Nah!", "What's that?"
On the wrist, however:
"Mmh!", "Ouh!", "Wow!"
I wouldn't describe the fragrance as particularly sophisticated, just great. I've never smelled anything like it before. Many other fragrances trigger associations, images or even stories, this one just smells amazing. How? I have no idea. GIVE ME MORE!

A thoroughly successful rose-leather fragrance
Before I take a little perfume break for a few days due to my vacation, I'd like to introduce you to Shem. I really like this leather and rose fragrance. However, I think the price is a bit exaggerated. The longevity on my skin, on the other hand, is really great, because Shem lasts well over a day! The sillage is correspondingly strong. A colleague at work found Shem curiously fruity (I put this down to his inexperience with niche fragrances, as he only wears Cool Water Eau de Toilette) but successful, while my best friend was not so impressed.

The top note has a very intense, floral and sweet scent of rose water, leather, osmanthus and rose geranium. The heart note remains leathery and rose-based. I also detect a woody note thanks to rosewood with resinous hints of cedarwood. Cardamom and a little saffron add an oriental spiciness to the fragrance. The base smells of suede, but also offers earthy notes of cypriol and vetiver.

I would like to thank Niklas for the manufacturer's sample of a thoroughly successful but also offensive fragrance. And now I'm saying goodbye for a few days. I am already looking forward to the Palatinate and am leaving Swabia full of anticipation.

Nothing interesting. Mix of various fragrances that mingles into that bland green artificially leathery scent. Not my cup of tea

In the opening, cardamom with rose and geranium. In the drydown, a smooth leather with green and spicy notes. Ambery and earthy in the base.

A very unique creation from Nishane. This is a beautiful oriental, green-floral, leathery fragrance. Slighty spicy and sweet.

Not normally a fan of floral leather but this is very well balanced and elegant. Full of character and almost overwhelming at times

A fresh and tart Turkish note which is smoothly blended. Dries down rather green aromatic with a rose back bone. No other complexities

Just a ridiculous ultra-overpriced geranium-resins perfume in the same path of Arabians or Fars.
