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!

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.

Its a bold, mesmerising fragrance that exudes elegance and strength. With its rich blend of warm spices, amber, and smoky undertones, it creates a unique and unforgettable scent. Perfect for those who love deep , complex perfumes that leave a lasting impression. Tero is both sophisticated and daring, making it ideal for evening wear or special occasions.

Tero by Nishane: A sensual journey

My first Nishane and I have no regrets! The opening of Tero is like the first bite of a salted caramel dessert. The salty sweetness of the caramel dances on the tongue, while the pepper adds a spicy note.
The heart note of Tero is like a mysterious forest in the fall. Patchouli exudes an earthy warmth, while the cinnamon breaks through the canopy like a ray of sunshine. I imagine walking along an old wooden walkway, surrounded by autumnal leaves and the scent of spices.
The DD is like a walk on the beach at night. The amber radiates a warm, golden glow, while the oak wood captures the salty sea air. The vetiver gives the fragrance depth and grounding - like standing barefoot in the sand and watching the waves.

Conclusion: For me, Tero is a sensual poem that reminds me that true beauty lies in the details - like the taste of salted caramel on the tongue or the sound of waves on the beach. As it is a warm fragrance, I would rather wear it at colder times of the year. The longevity is above average. Tero is a fragrance that takes the senses on a journey through taste, nature and memory.
