Afrika Olifant

by Jorge Lee

Nishane Afrika Olifant is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Jorge Lee. Afrika Olifant opens with Ambergris, Frankincense, Myrrh, and Labdanum, settles into a heart of Castoreum, Civet, and Leather, and dries down to a base of Musk and Civet. Nishane's Afrika Olifant carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

This is a fiercely divisive animalic beast, celebrated by some as a profound masterpiece and reviled by others as an affront to good taste. It's a challenging wear, but rewards those brave enough to embrace its primal power.

About

Afrika Olifant opens with an intense wave of ancient resins, labdanum, frankincense and myrrh, mingled with the bracing marine tang of ambergris. These give way to a deeply carnal heart of civet, castoreum, and rich, worn leather. The drydown settles into a musky, smoky embrace, retaining its animalic character while softening into an earthy, almost primeval warmth.
