Tero Nishane 2022

Dies ist mein Favorit in der Zeitkapsel-Kollektion.
Er erinnert definitiv an Black Phantom, aber wenn man das vorherrschende gourmandige Gefühl von BP wegnimmt und es durch Gewürze und Paprika ersetzt. Salzige, süße Güte.
Dies ist der einzige Duft aus der Zeitkapsel-Kollektion, der für das, was er bietet, nicht überteuert ist.
Nishane-Fanboys werden sich freuen!

Helpful Review 4

Gourmand for the non gourmand lovers

Casually bought the Time Capsule discovery set, and didn't pay much mind to Tero. Was really excited to try Papilefiko since it is the one that gets the most hype out of the 4 in this collection. Surprisingly, did not care much for it. Kredo was a big like, and Tero was an instant love. My god, the first time I have sampled something and 30 mins later found a bought a full 100 ml BNIB bottle. That instantaneous of a love.

Is it gourmand? Maybe
Is it spicy? Oh yes
Is it sexy? To my nose, absolutely

I love caramel, and I love the smell of freshly crushed black pepper. If those two things sound appealing to you, give this one a try. I can understand this not being a love for everyone, the pepperiness is hyper realistic, to an extent that surprised beyond my expectations. That kick remains faintly in the background during the drydown while mixing with sticky sweet and salty caramel. Deep into the drydown you get some dry patchouli hints with light ambers, but the caramel is always front and center.

This is a dream "gourmand" for me. Balanced to perfection, blended incredibly well, longevity is insane, 14+ hours on my skin, leaves a trail that never fails to get positive attention. Price wise on discounters, $150 for this insanely good scent? Incredible value. If you feel that most sweet scents are cloying, this one will not disappoint.

Horrible scent, 2/10 (gatekeep this one please)

A masterful blend of caramel and patchouli

When you first spray it on, you get a heavy waft of sweetness - this clearly opens as a gourmand scent. If you didn't look at the notes, you'd most likely expect some combination of caramel/toffee/burnt sugar, but there's a bitter edge to it at first and that's the other core component of this scent - the patchouli. This scent, in its entirety, is caramel-patchouli. There are other elements in the blend, but they won't be anywhere near as easy to separate - for example, you'll get some spices within the first 15-30 minutes which dissipate over time. The patchouli is not too earthy and the caramel overpowers it in the blend.

What I appreciate the most about scents like Tero is the uniqueness which is an interesting pun in this context, because the only scent in the niche market that smells anything like Tero, to me, is "Crush on Me" by Unique'e Luxury. Regarding comparables: on the other site, I saw people referring to Black Phantom. I have a bottle of Black Phantom and think it's a slight reach - BP in its entirety is a gourmand while this has certain alternative tones to it. As for the Crush on Me comparison, what you get with Crush on Me is 85-15 patchouli-caramel, giving that scent a clear masculine edge. Here I'd say we are around 45-55 patchouli-caramel, making it straight-down-the-middle unisex.

Performance is somewhere in the 90th percentile - there aren't that many niche gourmands pulling 10-12h nowadays. The scent is very airy, at least for 3 hours - optimal as a fall-winter fragrance and for open-air events. Pricing is in-line with what well-recognized gourmand brands (like Kilian) ask. Almost instantly after this review was written, the 100ml became available for €315. I subsequently added a bottle on the 19th of October.

Unisex macaroon rusk with salt & pepper.

I know I should say No! more often to sugar, but I just couldn't refuse Tero. The caramel is present, but really discreet, being kept in its place by the salt and pepper, who keep in check his sweet tendencies. It smells just like a macaroon minus the filling, so it can easily be worn by men as well. For me, Tero is the most interesting scent from that Nishane Time Capsule collection. Personally, I'd wear this more in the fall or winter, because the sweetness might be too cloying for the summer.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Știu ca ar trebui sa spun Nu! mai des la zahar, dar daca o confecție ti-a acaparat simțurile si gândurile ti-se întorc mereu înapoi la ea? Cam acestea sânt sentimentele mele despre Tero. Caramelul este acolo, dar cat se poate de discret, fiind pus la locul lui de sare si doua feluri de piper care il tin de guler si nu il lasă sa-si facă de cap. Miroase exact ca o coaja de macaroon, dar fără umplutura care l-ar face prea dulce si feminin. Daca prietenul meu ar mirosi așa, as simți mereu nevoia sa îmi tin fata pe umărul lui si poate sa il mușc din cand in cand. Nu cred ca as dori sa il poarte vara, pentru ca pe căldură ar mirosi prea arabesc, cumva acea bezea de macaroon fiind prea delicata si nepotrivita in timpul caniculei. Atunci un pahar de apa rece ar fi mult mai bine venit decât un produs de cofetărie. Tero este cel mai reușit din colecția Time Capsule, după umila mea părere.

Salted caramel, patchouli and warm woodiness

The beginning felt a bit muddled as if the notes were trying to settle down, but didn't yet know their place. When they settled down, though, it started smelling incredible. Warm, drizzled, salted caramel with a subtle undertone of peppery spiciness. Very realistic and just so beautiful! After awhile, the warmth starts receding and a dark, grounded, earthy patchouli rises up, still accompanied by the salted caramel note. It's giving gourmand, but subtle, fit for those who don't enjoy very sweet gourmands (think vanilla, crème brulée, chocolate and the likes). Drydown becomes woodier as the salted caramel gives up its center place and vetiver starts giving a more masculine-leaning spiciness allied with the cinnamon that is still going strong from the middle notes.

I really didn't have any expectations with this fragrance as Nishane hasn't been a brand that has wowed me yet (different strokes, for different folks), but this one was very nice. I will be retesting it during colder weather to see how it performs, but it might not make it into my collection due to its very masculine-leaning spiciness, although the salted caranel almost makes it up for it...
