Hundred Silent Ways

Hundred Silent Ways was released in 2016 under the Nishane house, in an Extrait de Parfum concentration. The fragrance comes in four sizes: 3 ml, 5 ml, 50 ml and 100 ml.

Opening

Tuberose appears from the very first notes, with its accents of honey, wax and cream. Mandarin brings a sun-kissed sparkle and a citrus luminosity, while peach, sweet, evokes the velvet of its skin and the softness of nectar.

Floral bouquet

Gardenia forms the heart tier along with jasmine and iris. The former offers a green, fruity facet, crossed with a metallic note. Jasmine radiates warmth and sweetness, with a wild character. Iris, powdery, takes on buttery nuances reminiscent of violet.

Base

Vanilla appears sweet, lifted with spices and full of warmth. Vetiver contrasts it with a woody, smoky and earthy material, derived from a root. Sandalwood rounds out the whole with a velvety, warm wood, known for its creamy texture.

Florals and gourmand character

The floral olfactory family here rests on tuberose, gardenia, jasmine and iris, white and powdery flowers whose creamy or honeyed facets dominate. The gourmand touch comes from vanilla and peach, materials that evoke dessert and sugar.

What the label declares

Linalool, geraniol, citronellol and limonene are common components of floral and citrus essences, here echoing jasmine and mandarin. Hydroxycitronellal evokes lily of the valley, hexyl cinnamal jasmine, cinnamic alcohol a balsamic note; benzyl salicylate is common in floral accords.
