Nishane Meant To Be Seen Extrait

Description

Meant to Be Seen is Nishane's 2025 powdery-woods statement, composed by perfumer Jordi Fernández. Built on violet, iris (orris root), and a cloud of musky, ambery woods, it has an addictive, almost-gourmand reputation, but reads more sophisticated than sweet, with a radiant, modern depth reviewers describe as gauzy iris wrapped in soft musk.

Scent Character

• Woody: 56%
• Floral: 22%
• Fresh: 11%
• Smoky/Resinous: 11%

Translation: a powdery, musk-driven woods composition lifted by violet and a touch of citrus, deep and radiant rather than classically sweet.
