The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2023, Hesperide Colognise by Nishane is a composition crafted by perfumer Olaf Larsen that blends citrus freshness with woody and earthy notes. The fragrance opens with bright citrus—orange, bergamot, and lime—which contrasts beautifully against the warm, powdery base of orris, cedarwood, cashmere wood, and musk. This interplay creates a dynamic scent that feels both fresh and grounded, making it versatile for various occasions.

How to wear it

One or two sprays will suffice as the citrus top notes are bright but fleeting. The fragrance's warmth comes through after about an hour, so it pairs well with daytime wear when you want a scent that evolves throughout the day.

Olaf Larsen

German discipline, Colombian warmth

Olaf Larsen describes himself as 100% German through his father and 100% Colombian through his mother — a blend he credits with combining northern pragmatism (sharpened by his training in Industrial Engineering) with South American warmth.

“A Perfume Should Make You Feel Something.”
