Vain & Naïve

by Chris Maurice

Nishane Vain & Naïve is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Chris Maurice. Vain & Naïve opens with Bergamot and Orange, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Plum, and Raspberry, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Patchouli, Musk, and Amber. Nishane's Vain & Naïve carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This one's a divisive fruit bomb. Some find it a 'sexy cougar' vibe, others dub it 'nauseating' or 'basic'. If you're into a morphing fruity-floral with unexpected twists, it's worth a sniff, otherwise, tread carefully.

Given its strong performance and dominant fruity-sweet accords, this scent leans more towards social events where it can shine.

About

Vain & Naïve opens with a vibrant burst of orange and bergamot, quickly ushering in a juicy, sweet heart of raspberry and plum, intertwined with a creamy, almost lactonic rose and a hint of jasmine. As it settles, a warm, woody base emerges, blending sandalwood and amber with earthy patchouli, a touch of benzoin, and the soft sensuality of musk and tonka bean. It's a complex journey from bright fruit to sophisticated, sweet depth.
