Launched in 2016 by Nathalie Gracia-Cetto for Parfums de Marly, Nisean is a woody and spicy fragrance that weaves together contrasting elements. The opening notes of pink pepper, lime, and grapefruit bring a sharp freshness that cuts through the warm spiciness of saffron and olibanum. This vibrant top is soon enveloped by an earthy heart of labdanum and geranium before settling into a rich base of patchouli, amber, and cedar. The result is a scent that feels both invigorating and grounding, striking a balance between the unexpected brightness of its start and the comforting warmth of its finish.

Application Tips
Apply Nisean with two generous sprays — the bright top notes are fleeting but impactful. Once they fade, the warm base will linger close to skin, so it’s best for intimate settings or evening wear when you want a scent that feels both fresh and enveloping.
