Nishane Thorns Become Roses is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2026, created by Julien Rasquinet. Thorns Become Roses opens with Cardamom, Saffron, Raspberry, and Litchi, settles into a heart of Rose, Violet Leaf, and Mimosa, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Amberwood. Nishane's Thorns Become Roses carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This Nishane is seriously divisive - some hail it a masterpiece, others smell 'nose tingling dirt' and lament yet another rose-oud combo. Expect a bold, synthetic kick that either sings or screeches.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Other declarable allergens

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

It opens with a punchy, almost jammy fruit cocktail of raspberry and litchi, sharpened by spicy cardamom and a prominent saffron. This vibrant start quickly gives way to a full-bodied rose, bolstered by powdery mimosa and a green violet leaf, creating a rich floral heart. The drydown settles into a warm, woody base of sandalwood, patchouli, and a strong amberwood, which some perceive as an oud-like quality, leaving a lasting, powerful trail.
