Nishane Shem Extrait de Parfum — Illuminating Rose & Leather

SHEM (meaning “candle”) embodies the metaphor: a flame that kindles many without diminishing itself. With its rich interplay of Turkish rose and leather, Shem is a fragrance of inner light—bold yet introspective. It’s designed for those who shine in their own way and inspire others to light up their paths.Key Notes & Olfactory Pyramid

Top Notes: Cardamom, Turkish Rose, Geranium

The scent opens with spicy-rosy elegance, drifts into a warm floral-amber heart, and settles into a deep, leathery, woody foundation.

“Green, green, green . Cypriol bomb … after 1 hour … rose and the scent become more wearable.”

FAQ
Q: Is Shem unisex?A: Yes — it’s marketed and worn as a unisex fragrance.
Q: What makes Shem different from other rose-leather fragrances?
A: The presence of cypriol (nagarmotha) and elemi gives it a green-smoky-earthy quality, which tempers the rose and leather into something more nuanced.
Q: Should I wear it lightly or heavily?
A: Best worn with restraint—1 to 2 sprays will typically be enough. Over-application may cause the leather or cypriol to overpower.
