...I haven't smelled TDH, but I believe the profile is that green-lemony toilet cleanser feel you see in scents like Isola Blu Parfum and Basso.

...Relevant disclaimer that I'm in niche, but I will have sampled 100 2023 releases by the end of the year. I'm on 97 at the moment. I rank inclusive of value, performance & uniqueness. 1. Favorite for women: I have Guidance at #1, but I feel like Pas Ce Soir Extrait was right there. It merely lacked originality and the performance was kinda meh.2. Favorite for men: I haven't actually finalized the top of my ranks, but it's either Astaral, Aquila Absolute or Oud Maracujá.3. Favorite unisex: I looked at the votes people have given and it appears to be Astaral which is around 60-40 male (based on the votes). It's a sweet-jammy rose scent done mildly oriental.4. Best surprise: This one's hard, because I'd say Florian was unexpectedly neat and I enjoyed AM lots too, BUT I think Boyish was the one. I haven't smelled that many Floraikus, but I feel like it earned a top 20 place this year for a fairly unique product. Smells a bit like a honeyed lemon tea when you're ill.5. Most disappointing: Keeping it real, niche in 2023 was trash. But the scent that disappointed the most... I can give you 2 different answers here. Based on where I ranked it vs. what I expected, I'd say it was Groove Xcape because it's not Xerjoff... that's not the product that Xerjoff should be releasing, especially for those anticipating a Tony Iommi Monkey Special follow-up by a collaborator. The other answer would be based on high expectations and that one is Hacivat Oud - that scent lacks any & all complexity to justify it being added to Nishane's Prestige collection with actual great/elite scents like Nefs.6. Favorite oud: See question 2 - all of those three fragrances have oud. But I would also add Crop Edition 2023.7. Favorite vanilla: most 2023 niche vanillas sucked ass (Althair, Mr. Thompson, Vanilla Powder, Vanille Leather). I'd have Ani X as the top one, but that also was very uninspiring - it's just original Ani Extrait de Parfum without the spices and a short-lived fruity melon opening.8. Favorite gourmand: Very surprising this one, it's going to Bonbon Pop. Smells a bit like raspberries & cream, a standard fruitchouli scent that just happens to be blended very well. Clearly feminine.9. Favorite floral: I'd say Solaris was the best one, well-blended solar floral with great longevity.10. Favorite citrus: Ingenious Ginger, a product inspired by Le Gemme - Tygar that has good blending & a smooth velvety vanilla base.11. Favorite for a beachy vibe: either Ani X or Ingenious Ginger in ranking terms; but for personal enjoyment, I think the best summer scent in just scent terms was Aeternum which is a musky-aquatic ambergris scent with melon.12. Favorite for the Holidays: Again, either Ani X or Ingenious Ginger in ranking terms and Aeternum from a personal perspective.13. Most interesting/creative: Most creative was Faces of Francis, but it lacked blending to support it. I think Florian also had uniqueness/creativity, but it's still a rose-oud play at the end of the day.14. Favorite/Most - category of your choice: [Most overhyped by the community] - definitely Althaïr which is just another basic designer-tier vanilla & white floral combo. Will never forget how that scent was a 9.0/10 on Parfumo after 200 votes.15. Favorite/Most- category of your choice: [Most overhyped by influencers] - Althair was there, but I'd say Lovers was worse. It was truly embarrassing the amount of ass-kissing we saw for FDB in 2023 from PR-gifted influencers.

...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).

...I'm pretty experienced in the so-called premium niche tier (from recognized brands), but a lot of these are wayyyy out there for price.Some of my suggestions:Sultan - top oud-vanilla on the market from a very hard to access brand, €579 for 100mlNefs - oud-rose-honey with ~10 layers, perfect standout fragrance for fall-winter, €525 for 50ml"Oud Stars - Alexandria II (Parfum) | XerJoff" - powdery oud-rose, love this as a formal-business signature scent, €545 for 100mlEnigma pour Homme Parfum - like a slightly animalic coca-cola, €450 for 50mlScents that I have wishlisted:Nocturna - I view it as a femme fatale fragrance, but it's surprisingly close to unisex. Smells like sugared tropical fruit with some florals and ambergris, a high-quality take of the scent profile offered by God of Fire Imperator - one of my favorite woody blends, smells like a plate of sawdust. Creamy laurel on dry cedar. Elysium pour Homme Parfum - we all know thisScents that have been of interest to me:meltmyheart Eau de Parfum - it appears to be a very nice gourmand fragranceDubai - Turath - the profile offered by scents like Jubilation XXV Man and Secret Tryst is among my most loved, so the accords on this do have me interestedThe Moon - just haven't gotten around to this yet
