Nishane Shinanay is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Angelos Balamis. Shinanay opens with Orange, Blood Orange, Elemi, and Galbanum, settles into a heart of Mastic, Tuberose, Magnolia, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, Oakmoss, and Civet. Nishane's Shinanay carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

Shinanay is a divisive beast: an unapologetically bold, animalic white floral for those who thrill to scent as art, not just an accessory. It's vintage-inspired but distinctly modern, with an 'immortal' presence that guarantees you'll be noticed. Not for the faint of heart, it's a love-it-or-hate-it creation that challenges the nose.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Shinanay opens with a sharp, tart burst of blood orange and galbanum, swiftly transitioning to a rich, oily white floral heart dominated by tuberose and gardenia. Hints of earthy mushroom and aromatic mastic add an unusual, intriguing depth before settling into a smouldering base of civet, oakmoss, and resinous opoponax. It's a complex dance of bright citrus, indolic florals, and raw, earthy sensuality.
