This is just it, a beautiful feminine perfume that you can wear every day of the year, its super fresh, yet has body and warmth to it, given by the tonka, benzoin and an ever so soft Barely there patchuli.. I have been loving this fragrance since 2018. At the time when I received my first bottle as a gift, I had no idea what a fougere was and no preconceptions about perfumery in general. I simply thought it smelled very good, and so I wore it. Just about every day. It bears no resemblance whatsoever to In Paradise Riviera from Ex Nihilo which is a much lighter tropical fresh musk. Riviera is a very feminine elegant scent focused on fresh beautiful flowers, sunshine and clean musk. Tempfluo is all about fun and playfulness mixed with an urban edge. There is also no musk in Tempfluo. Projection wise this is a scent that lets people know you are on your way. It’s a bold projector with a huge sillage, especially for being also somewhat of a freshie. And the longevity is great as on most Nishane fragrances I have tried.

Edit: so for longevity it lasted on my skin about 5 hrs before it turned into a skin scent. If not for it being on my clothes, it would have disappeared altogether. Omg i love this!! Huuugeee love for me. I think every house should have something wearable, versatile and universally pleasing. Like do you always need a weird crazy smell? Firstly, I do not like or own YSL Libre, which is why I held off buying this fragrance. Sometimes, what one person smells is not what another person does. Having said this, I did blind buy this based on the notes of mandarin, Jasmine, cedar, cashmere wood, vanilla and bergamot, and I’m glad I did. It suits most occasions and it has a clean, hint of powdery smell. The plum is front and center, rose extremely smooth and ethereal. I personaly think that B-612 is extremely underrated. It works perfect in hot weather and in office or work surrounding. Notes are lavander, geranium, cypress, cashmeran, sandalwood, cedar, oakmoss, musk, patchouli and tonka bean. Most prominent ones are sharp lavander, maybe the most natural one I ever smelled then cypress, cedar and patchouli in the dry-down with oakmoss, tonka and sandalwood to soften up the edges.WOW RATING: 7/10. This is a good woody and spicy fragrance with a sweet touch, pleasant, good but not impressive. The execution is impressive, which should come as no surprise as the scent was created by Cécile Zarokian. The Paris-based perfumer has produced standouts such as Amouage Epic Woman, Jovoy Private Label and Masque Milano Tango, as well as the delightfully powdery Nishane Nanshe. As my knowledge and appreciation of perfumery has grown, my love for Fougere d'Argent has increased with it. This is not a fougere for purists: it does not belong in an Edwardian-styled bottle, nor does it take you on a barbershop-themed nostalgia trip. Other excellent options such as Beau de Jour and Sartorial will gladly fill those roles. Fougere d'Argent grasps the underlying DNA and takes it in a sweeter, spicier, darker, and altogether more modern direction. More synthetic than its traditional counterparts? To some fragheads it may smell that way, particularly in the potent opening of coumarin, ginger, and orange. Yet most of the noses on the street will not care, will not even know the difference between this and something more "proper." Over four years of wear I have received countless compliments from people of all ages. The stuff just smells great. You can dress it up or down. Its oriental side gives a refreshing edge, and its woody/spicy/warm heart is intoxicating as you approach. It is a genuinely unique fragrance, and those who enjoy it will easily be able to make it a signature. Tempfluo encompasses to me both a fresh beach vibe and a bit darker spicy ness combined also with something urban unnatural like some describe as play doh, some as plastic/metallic, some as rubber or asphalt which intrigues some and I guess repulses some. For me that twang is diffused and I experience it mostly like something a bit dusty or dirty that slightly stains the otherwise more beautiful notes. Like the feeling of experiencing a beautiful but somewhat crowded beach from a nearby cafe right by a semi-busy asphalt road if that makes sense and is subdued enough for me to enjoy it. it also helps the composition to feel very modern and cool without trying too hard, if that makes sense. I am going to go out on a limb here by suggesting that if Barbie and Ken were two very cool characters - they would both be wearing Tempfluo as their signature scent… This is another barbershop with lavender and a bit of citrus in the top. The base has wood but I find it dominated by coumarin. In fact, I find the entire composition dominated by heavy coumarin, and that gives it (to my nose) a cheap, designer, mall-scent profile that I can't get past. I view this as Beau du Jour 1.0 - an experiment to make a classic barbershop masculine updated for today's nose. Take the classic profile, jam of a bunch of sweet synth molecule in it, wrap it together, and sell it today's man who came up on Eros and Invictus and the like but is older, has a nicer car, and makes more money. Where BdJ succeeded, TF d'Argent failed, at least somewhat. This isn't a bad scent - it's pleasant enough if you can tolerate that synthetic sweet/vanilla note - but it feels a bit like the first attempt at modernization and they didn't get it right, at least not to me.

Nishane as a brand is not for the faint of heart in my opinion. On me this lasts easily 8-12 hours with strong projection and I will still feel it the day after I have used it until I shower. And on clothes until you wash them… Fougere d'Argent, as its name implies, is a post-modern fougere, aka a fougere created to immediately spark the idea of what you are smelling is a fougere, just in case 'fougere' being part of the name wasn't clear enough to prepare you for what you are going to smell.Performance is solid, reflective of the price and that, genre-wise, Fougere d'Argent is year-round-friendly and while I regard it as more of a daytime option, it can certainly suit someone at night, and surely for formal scenarios as well. Nishane Tempfluo with its funny name is really an interesting scent indeed. And quite lovely if you let it be. That leaves Beau De Jour (in my case, the Private Blend version) as the screamer. It's definitely the most unapologetic one of the trio. I absolutely love it & get tons of compliments on it... But if you appreciate BDJ, you'd probably love Platine & d'Argent, too... Admittedly, you may need a couple wears to realize it, but at least you'll smell great doing it. And then the pièce de resistance: superior vanilla featuring nuances of wood, spice and cream enhanced with the warmth of benzoin, musk and sandalwood. The sweetness at the end is very reserved, a little bitter and hardly worth mentioning. You shouldn't expect an oriental Sillage-Wummser here, but on the performance side he does quite well and stays on my skin all day long.

I made the mistake of overlooking Fougère d'Argent & Fougère Platine when they first came out in 2018. By the time I was in the market for some more Tom Ford, Beau De Jour had just been released at the start of 2019, & I instantly went for the big bottle. Absolutely love it. Each NISHANE fragrance is designed as a tribute to different emotions and moods to ensure you remember the moments you loved. NISHANE sees perfume creation as an important art form and has created a brand where storytelling goes hand in hand with scent. Revisiting my samples, both are fantastic & worth owning alongside BDJ. I love all 3 & to me, they each fit a mood, although they're entirely interchangeable to suit yours. All 3 are going to be general crowd-pleasers. I wore it the other day at work for the first time and I even got a few compliments from my coworkers! Fun fact: when I tested it for the first time I thought of it as a bit weak performer considering Extrait de Parfum concentration but I just think that after a while I don't feel it anymore but it seems everyone around me actually do!Platine is more herbaceous & bracing, or "cooling". It's probably the hardest to quit sniffing of the 3. The blend is just fantastic & so soothing. A bit more "serious" than d'Argent, Platine strikes me as mature, confident & sexy... Perfect for the office, a date, or dinner I originally had a review below that I'd edited a few times, but it was in jeopardy of becoming a wall of text (as this is about to be) if I continued to update it, so here are my thoughts after about six months experience with this fragrance. This scent has been considered to be a tribute to the each “unique love” ever experienced on earth by the creative directors Murat Katran and Mert Guzel. In the novella we see that the prince’s love for his flower causes him much pain and heartbreak. The flower grows from a strange seed that somehow lands up on the prince’s planet. The first thing we learn about her is that she is beautiful. “It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important.” NISHANE’s objective has been to bring the smell of this flower that Little Prince is love with into reality. To be able to bring into existence this coquettish flower that has trouble expressing her love for the little prince and consequently drives him away, NISHANE had to refer to varying notes to underline the mood that is simultaneously vain and naïve. The flower informs the little prince of her love for him too late to persuade him to stay home and not to travel. Throughout the story, she occupies the prince’s thoughts and heart." - a note from the brand.

My perception of B-612 is more terrestrial than its inspiration. I see it as a very interesting way of bringing a new sensation through the manipulation of a very traditional ingredient such as lavender. And now that the weather is warming up, it's been my addiction for the past two weeks and a very comforting, energizing scent. The core of the fragrance is a combination of lavender with cypress. The lavender is rich and rounded and the cypress is fresh and balsamic, with camphoraceous aspects that come from the synergy of the two materials. It's this synergy that creates a simple magic, a very natural feeling that also seems effortless. B-612 has this freshness that is new, modern and dynamic, while still nodding to classics such as Caron's Pour un Homme, a lavender icon. But while Pour un Homme is more vanillic, B-612 goes deeper into the woody vibe. For me Tempfluo is blossoming during late spring and all throughout summer. It is a both fresh and spicy scent so it can also work from day to night, as it is refreshing enough not to be cloying in the heat but spicy and dark enough to handle a hot night as well. It is incredibly unisex. From that point of view this has the potential of a small masterpiece as it will also bring forward different things depending on who it sits on and when…DISLIKE RATING: 2/10. The spicy accords are noticeable; some people are likely to find them offensive.
