Nishane B-612 Extrait
Description
B-612 takes its name from the asteroid home of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's Little Prince, composed by perfumer Chris Maurice and launched in 2018. A crisp lavender-and-cypress opening leads into a woody cashmeran-and-sandalwood heart, resting on a mossy, tonka-warmed base. Presented as an Extrait de Parfum, it's a refined take on the classic fougère structure.
