In its relentless pursuit to redefine the paradigms of scent creation, Nishane introduces Shinanay (pronounce shee-na-nye) as the second opus in its Experimental Collection. 

Launched in 2019, the Experimental Collection serves as a daring space for avant-garde creations, offering perfumers and the most discerning connoisseurs the opportunity to explore uncharted olfactory territories. 

Shinanay is named after "şinanay", an expression of joy in Turkish that is also the title of a popular song. The fragrance is hemmed with tactile balsams and caramelised resins, while a heart of narcotic flowers - gardenia, tuberose and magnolia – lilts through the composition. The indolic sweetness of the flowers pulse against the luminous verticality of galbanum and lily of the valley. 

An interplay of contrasts arises, between the lime-green freshness of mastic and elemi and the warmth of cèpes mushroom and opoponax, their toffee and chocolate hues distilled into a voluptuous ambery glaze. 

Indian sandalwood and Himalayan cedar burnish the exhausted petals, lending their milkiness to the arousing purr of civet while oakmoss, in a final, tenebrous waft, responds to the aldehydic citruses of the overture.

Notes: aldehydes, blood orange, elemi, galbanum, gardenia, tuberose, magnolia, muguet, mastic, sandalwood, civet, cedarwood, opoponax, oakmoss, benzoin
