Nishane - Afrika-Olifant Extrait 50 ml - Unisex Amber Oriental Perfume

Nishane, Afrika-Olifant Extrait 50 ml, Unisex Amber Oriental Perfume. Nishane Afrika-Olifant Extrait is a unisex amber oriental perfume. Poised halfway between a masculine chypre and a musky oriental, the perfume Nishane Afrik-Olifant exerts a steady fascination over its wearer. But fear not, despite the extraordinary array of animalic notes packed into this scent, it pulls off the remarkable feat of being both richly dirty and a breeze to wear. If you love the mossy funk of old-school masculines like Antaeus, then this will be right down your alley. The structure of the fragrance is quite clever. Instead of a top-down flow of notes, imagine a glowing core emanating concentric circles of rich aromas that strike the nose all at once – rubber, bone-dry leather, fiery balsam, melting tar, bitter moss, musk. There’s also a lot of myrrh, first bathing everything in a haze of smoke and then drying down to a lingering impression of licorice, stone and earth. Everything feels so elemental, and yet, at its core, the perfume Nishane Afrika-Olifant is a super-smooth leather with a surprisingly balmy freshness to it. Citrus and herbs provide lift, and a sweet-salty ambergris spotlights everything with its golden glow. The end result is a fragrance that feels solidly classical, but also animalic in a way that not many modern masculines are these days.
