A strange olfactory experience that I am yet able to appreciate

First off, I’m a big fan of Nishane; it’s arguably my favorite niche house. Kredo is my signature fragrance for the cold weather, and I plan to buy Wulong Cha as my summer signature. You can probably imagine my excitement when Shinanay came out. The timing coincided when I started using Souk, and I got Shinanay via a Split.

When deciding how much to split, I was hesitating between 10 vs 5 ml. The heart wanted 10 ml, and kept reminding me all my previous beautiful Nishane experience. But the brain was telling me to not rush. Eventually, the brain won, and I feel very lucky about it now. Here is why.

Shinanay is NOT a conventional smell. While the orange note in the opening brings some freshness, an animalistic note (probably the Civet) quickly pushes out and dominates the stage thereafter. In Kredo, there is also a slight offness and animalistic sense, but it was not dominant and is quite enjoyable for me. However, in Shinanay, the note is dominant and unpleasant.

The scent itself is complex, and, with more wear, I start to pick up different layers. While it may be interesting, I‘veI never found it desirable. If Shinanay is an art, I am not a good enough artist to appreciate it.

Lastly, the moral of the story: when sampling a new fragrance, start small!

Man in the Woods

You've lived in the woods your whole life, have a pet wolf and chop trees in your spare time. This is what all the alpha males preaching to you on your social media platforms would smell like if they lived the lives they claimed. This is also what I imagine that the men who wore scents like polo green in the 80's thought they smelled like.

Shinanay is much smoother (and overall way better smelling) than a polo green however. This is an unapologetically resinous fragrance that I can see being a signature scent for an overwhelmingly confident man's man. If that isn't you, then this must be worn intentionally or rest assured that it will wear you.

From the opening to the end of its 8 hour lifespan it makes itself known with a good projection and sillage. If you love the house of Nishane and want to get into animalic fragrances, then this may be the easiest wear that they have to offer in that style. While I think this is an amazing scent (that I wear it at home from time to time), it is ultimately too animalic for me to wear as often as I would like.

Somebody fry me a stork

On a Saturday at the end of the 80s, Zibet and Biber bring their three Ziberlings to dear Ziber Omi and after a little chat they set off for the disco
the little ones have just been playing in the cedar forest and are full of resinous oak moss But Grandma is clever and has already made the bathtub full of soap foam beforehand and so she carefully puts one after the other in and starts to rubell them afterwards they are creamed and powdered after after a little smoky citrus spritzer, they go into the freshly made, cuddly soft sandal bed. Grandma tells her favorite story about evil blue goblins getting greedier and greedier and chasing the good-hearted, sensitive goblins, but they don't care because they sleep through until Sunday morning.
------------------------------------------------------
What a bombastically brilliant
Opening ceremony after the
First contact I thought I was
In 7th chypre heaven
citrusy mossy truck load
full of all the flowers in the world
Meters high soap foam mountains
green woody lavender soft and still
Pine bath as a toddler I find like at grandma's, musky soft bed linen cuddly soft oak moss freshly covered the old wooden cupboard airs through and grandma's cream and powder everywhere the lilies of the valley call very loudly for water. Fragrance is more than vintage everything there from earlier musk quite tame the fragrance is really well linked and very thick to wear find it radiates pure luxury is beguiling and seductively sublime and says everything like a fragrance ball.
are very dear goblins here everything fits this time does not prick.
Thanks to the lovely Gandix for the test opportunity ️

Context

The word Shinanay or actually
also " şinanay " comes from Turkish and has many meanings often it is partly associated with fun topics at the same time it is also versatile.

I also associate the motto with the fragrance. The start begins green fougere-like with the vibe of aftershave and then takes a chypre direction. I have tested a lot of fragrances from this company and was literally shocked that they dared to take such a step. If I didn't know which label the fragrance comes from, it could be a "bogue" fragrance with a subtle difference in complexity.

The drydown also begins with the chypre character, tuberose is no longer at the back of the queue ... My fear came true! It pushes itself further and further forward until it dominates the fragrance. The result is a mixture of 50% tuberose / 50% greenery. The drydown was not well received by my friends because I was visiting my buddy during it, they talked to me about it haha :))

And now to the end, from about 3-4 hours the tuberose recedes a bit and the notes of the ingredients listed below are added, whereby I personally liked this part best. It gets a new fragrance character through civet & co. All in all, I think the fragrance is very, very well done. However, I am an enemy of tuberose by conviction, which is why it has no place in my perfume cabinet. The tuberose is somehow and somewhere there every second, sometimes more, sometimes less ...

Nevertheless, " good job " !
