NISHANE SHINANAY

Edged with tactile balms and caramelized resins, a heart of narcotic flowers – gardenia, tuberose, and magnolia – moves through the composition, its indolic sweetness pulsating against the luminous verticality of galbanum and lily of the valley. A play of contrasts is created between the fresh green-lime of mastic and elemi and the warmth of porcini mushrooms and opoponax, with their caramel and chocolate nuances distilled into a voluptuous amber glaze. Indian sandalwood and Himalayan cedar brown the exhausted petals, lending their lactonic facets to the exciting effusions of civet, while oakmoss, in a dark finish, counterpoints the citrus and aldehydes of the top notes. Dynamic and captivating, Shinanay is the essence of joy.
