Papilefiko
Papilefiko by Nishane is an unisex extrait de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with cardamom, coriander and citrus notes, moves into lavender, artemisia and jasmine and dries down to pine, oakmoss and styrax. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
- Coriander Warm seed spice, slightly citrusy. A quiet workhorse.
- Citrus Notes A mix of citrus peel with no single fruit named.
Heart
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
- Artemisia Bitter and silvery-herbal. Wormwood, the backbone of a fougère.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Dry-down
- Pine Sappy and bracing. Straightforwardly outdoorsy.
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
- Styrax Smoky, leathery balsam. Slightly rubbery and dark.
