Nishane NEFS Extrait

Description

NEFS ("soul" in Turkish) is Nishane's rich amber gourmand, composed by Chris Maurice and launched in 2019. Honey and whiskey open onto a rose-and-osmanthus heart, before real agarwood, leather, and amber settle into a warm, boozy dry-down that reviewers often liken to a fine aged spirit rendered in scent.
