Nishane Shem is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Lucas Sieuzac. Shem opens with Rose, Geranium, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha, Amber, and Osmanthus, and dries down to a base of Leather, Vetiver, and Elemi. Nishane's Shem carries an Acquired verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

This is a bold, divisive beast. Shem demands attention with its unique, challenging blend of leathery rose and earthy notes. Not for everyone, but those who 'get' it absolutely adore its powerful, sophisticated aura.

About

Shem opens with a fascinating, almost minty blast of green rose, underpinned by a sharp, aromatic cardamom and green geranium. The heart descends into a rich, dark swirl of earthy cypriol and a subtle amber sweetness, before settling into a deep, commanding base of rugged leather and dry vetiver with a balsamic touch of elemi. It’s a textured, complex journey from sparkling green to brooding leather.
