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, an amber-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.

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.
