Boszporusz

A walk along the waterfront at twilight — where the air is crisp with sage and seagrass, and the scent of jasmine lingers in the mist.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Jorge Lee crafted Boszporusz in 2015 for Nishane, weaving together a composition that feels like the meeting of land and sea. Cypress and seagrass form an aromatic base, while sage and galbanum add a fresh green edge. The heart of gardenia and jasmine introduces a soft floral warmth, which is then anchored by oakmoss, patchouli, amber, and musk. This fragrance balances between aquatic freshness and woody depth, creating a sense of grounded serenity.

How to wear it

Apply Boszporusz directly to pulse points for a subtle yet lingering effect. The green top notes fade quickly, so it's best used in cooler weather or evenings when you want a soft, earthy presence rather than an overwhelming statement.
