Karagoz

Karagoz by Nishane is an unisex extrait de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with pineapple, grape and bouquet garni, moves into neroli, jasmine and patchouli and dries down to vetiver, oud and amber. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.

Notes, explained

Opening

Pineapple Tangy, boozy and tropical. Loud and hard to hide.
Grape Purple, candied, unmistakably artificial. Reads as sweet before fruit.
Bouquet Garni A kitchen bundle of herbs. Savoury, aromatic and a little dry.

Heart

Neroli Distilled orange blossom. Green, soapy and elegant.
Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.

Dry-down

Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
