Hespéridé Colognisé

Hespéridé Colognisé by Nishane is an unisex eau de cologne in the niche price tier. It opens with bergamot, sweet orange and lime, moves into jasmine, orris root, cedarwood and cashmere wood and dries down to ambergris, oakmoss, musk and vetiver. Expect around 5 hours of wear, and it projects softly.

Notes, explained

Opening

• Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
• Sweet Orange Juicy and cheerful. The friendliest citrus there is.
• Lime Sharper and greener than lemon. Reads a bit tropical, a bit barbershop.

Heart

• Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
• Orris Root Iris root aged for years. Buttery, powdery, unmistakably refined.
• Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
• Cashmere Wood Soft, fuzzy, slightly musky wood. Adds a blurred warmth.

Dry-down

• Ambergris Salty, animal, sun-warmed skin. Marine and musky at once.
• Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
• Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
• Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
