Chinese Ginger Cinnamon
Chinese Ginger Cinnamon by Nishane is an unisex extrait de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with lemon and lemongrass, moves into aldehydes, coumarin, eucalyptus and ginger and dries down to amber, cedarwood, praline, oakmoss and patchouli. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
- Lemongrass Sharp, grassy lemon. Bright and clean, with a herbal edge.
Heart
- Aldehydes Fizzy, soapy, slightly waxy. The 'sparkle' at the top of Chanel No. 5.
- Coumarin Hay, almond and vanilla in one molecule. The heart of every fougère.
- Eucalyptus Sharp, camphorous, clears the head. Reads as clean more than green.
- Ginger Warm, zesty and slightly soapy. Bridges citrus and spice.
Dry-down
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Praline Caramelised nuts. Sweet, toasty and very moreish.
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
