Another Interlude from life… almost exactly the same.
Nishane Shem is a dense, pleasant opening loaded with pink geranium and cypriol. At first, it feels familiar, sharing the same intent as Arabians or Fars: highly aromatic and substantial, here through the rose and elemi, and in the others via lavender and oud. I don’t understand the comparisons with Shurah or Nudiflorum. Of the three, Shem seems the weakest to me, as that heavy charge of geranium and cypriol simply doesn’t sit well, even if the notes are of quality. The blend isn’t balanced and fails to create anything unique. I don’t think it will catch the eye or be particularly elegant; it’s for enjoying its density, much like the concentration Boadicea uses in its bases for personal wear. The price makes it unthinkable to include in my list of overpriced items, although the bottle is lovely. It projects heavily for the first two hours, then remains intense but fades, holding up well for six or seven hours before leaving only a sweet resinous sensation on the skin. Scent: 6.9, Projection: 7.8, Longevity: 7.4, Originality: 5.7, Price: €525 (50ml). Recommended: No.
