What does everyone think of Nishane? What do you think of the quality of ingredients? Favorite scents? Critiques? In general, are they over-priced? I'm always skeptical of expensive hoses because I'm naturally skeptical and cheap frugal. Thanks in advance!!!
Nishane, opinions?

I really love Unutamam as one of my fav fragrances ever but Ani Extrait de Parfum and Hacivat seem unoriginal to me
i wanna try Karagoz, Pachulí Kozha, Afrika-Olifant, Nefs, Shem, and Mana
The ones I've tried I loved and bought bottles were Tuberoza and Nanshe. I'm frugal too so I wait for sales and also use shopping app extensions, like Rakuten and Microsoft Shopping. You can also buy large decants on places like ScentSplit if you don't want to buy a bottle. If you have a large wardrobe that might be the way to go.

Hi Kathryn. I suggest the 2ml samples they do for some launches. They cost about 12 USA dollars. Look for Nishane 2ml travel size samples on eBay and amazon. Also Etsy if it suits your home address.
They also have a few discovery sets. I'm working my way through the 21 set and so far only Wūlóng Chá Extrait de Parfum & Sultan Vetiver have really grabbed me. But most of them have great performance as expected of extrait. I find the house's DNA quite dark & heavy, but there're definitely some interesting compositions if not very wearable in an office setting.
I like a lot of scents from Nishane. Some aren't the most original product (see: Hacivat) while others are plenty original. Value is pretty much in-line with most well-regarded niche houses like Amouage, Xerjoff, Roja etc.
Personal favorites include Nefs (the best premium-niche blend of the last 5 years), Tero (caramel-patchouli), Ani Extrait de Parfum (spicy-woody vanilla), Wūlóng Chá Extrait de Parfum (aromatic tea with citruses), and Favonius (rose & cypriol/nagarmotha).
I did also like Papilefiko (sweetened fougere, think Roja's Apex mixed with PDM's Layton), Fan Your Flames (coconut, rum and tobacco), and Suède et Safran (mildly sweetened leather).
