Nishane

Hundred Silent Ways X

Hundred Silent Ways X by Nishane is a feminine-leaning extrait de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with tuberose, mandarin and peach, moves into gardenia, iris, jasmine and heliotrope and dries down to vanilla, leather and patchouli. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.

Notes, explained

Opening

• Tuberose Creamy, waxy and enormous. The loudest white flower.
• Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
• Peach Fuzzy, warm and slightly creamy. Soft rather than sharp.

Heart

• Gardenia Creamy white floral with a mushroomy edge. Lush and old-Hollywood.
• Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
• Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
• Heliotrope Almond, vanilla and powder. Smells like marzipan and old-fashioned makeup.

Dry-down

• Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
• Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
• Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
