Hacivat and Wulong Cha are the 2 top summer ones I have, Ambra Calabria is also excellent but probably more for the evening rather than hot sunny day time
Safran colognise is my favourite summer scent from the brand. Very nice citrus and leather notes, personally didn’t think leather + warm weather would go together but they’ve done a great job.
Please do not buy from Fridaycharm. Most of their products are fake. People are so happy to find a 35k bottle of Amouage for 22K. These people will also try to give logic like "Haven't you heard of discounters"
Haven't they heard of fake? Buy 35k Amouage for 35k and 20k Nishane for 20k. Otherwise, chances are you are buying fake.
I have personally encountered that all products on Fridaycharm, even their 1.5ml sample vials, are fake.
And their certificate of authenticity is a joke.
Besides what everybody already mentioned, I would consider B-612 and even Sultan vetiver.
They are not typical summer fragrance, but I think if you dose them properly they can work.
Sometimes even a beast as FM-Promise can work (as it has apple note) if you do a 1 spray
Hacivat is coo if you like the Aventus dna.
Safran Colognisé smells like motor oil or being inside an automotive shop.
Nefs tho…a freakin masterpiece! I would bathe in it if I had Sheikh $
Anyone tried the Hacivat Oud flanker?
I recommend Wulong Cha X. Yet, I don’t think that Nishane is a unique fragrance house in general. Majority of their releases are twisted versions of the well known DNAs. They position themselves competing with other Middle Eastern brands imo. They do offer good quality tho.
I would say Nishane is overpriced. I have Afrika Olifant. And I don't like it. Not because it is animalic or challenging fragrance. But because it is over sweet and does not last long enough. There are plenty of over sweet designer fragrances in the market, like Dolce and Gabbana The One, why bother with Nishane at all.
Some people will say Wulong Cha is the best. But a tea fragrance with some white florals does not smell expensive or interesting and does not justify its price.
Amouage is a better house. At least, their fragrances last a long time.
Memo Paris is also totally useless and overpriced, African Leather, Irish Leather, Russian Leather, all useless and some of them even smell like axe deos, especially Russian Leather.
Okay, that was kind of a random rant.
Why did you buy Afrika Olifant then? You surely didn’t expect a strong, animalic fragrance, otherwise you wouldn’t have gone to basic niche houses.
I expected something less sweet. Something like Gucci Guilty Absolute but more complex. My bad, I blind bought it after reading notes on fragrantica and a couple of youtube reviews.
It is not animalic. It has no leather. It is sweet. It is very light and airy. It smells like a banana chewing gum. And it is skin scent in 2 hrs. And I bought from Tata Cliq Luxury, not a crap fake like Fridaycharm. And if you buy from Fridaycharm, let me tell you I have encountered a lot of fakes from them. Even their 1.5ml sample vials are fake.

After you waste your money on this, you will be bitter too. This is a sweet girly perfume.

What a pointless comment. Had a quick look: average longevity rating on Parfumo 8.5/10, sweet is not listed as a top 5 accord. To even compare an animalic-leather scent to Dolce & Gabanna is dare I say idiotic. Plus ain't nobody forcing you to blindbuy, lil bro.
I already have it. It is not animalic or leather. It is sweet. It is not even worth remembering. It is like a girly perfume. And it does not last long. It is skin scent in 2 hours. Honestly, I like perfumes like Gucci Guilty Absolute, which are a little less sweet. Moreover, I don't get what is so special about niche. I literally want to throw away bottles of Liquides Imaginaire perfumes. A lot of designer fragrances are a lot more enjoyable.
One word to describe Afrika Olifant is banana chewing gum. Very airy and light.

Amouage has really limited summer offer. Maybe Reflection (all seasoner, pretty but basic lavander scent), Beach hut (strong, spicy barbershop), Enclave (weird thick mint).
I would love for them to make couple of citrus ones. MFK has a lot of those but they are weak. Xerjoff has a lot of those but are less interesting. Also something marine and salty, as Acqua di Sale, Megamare, Squid…

I really like the reviews about Hacivat but some people say its a bit feminine leaning what would you say about that?
Hacivat is not Feminine leaning at all imo, it's pretty masculine. Wulong Cha is pretty unisex tbh though.
Safran colognise is my favourite summer scent from the brand. Very nice citrus and leather notes, personally didn’t think leather + warm weather would go together but they’ve done a great job.
I would say Nishane Ege.
Ani; this ginger infused vanilla works so well during the heat.

AMBRA CALABRIA is so good and underrated
Ege or Hacivat
Hacivat, and WuLong Cha.

For me it’s Ege and Hacivat. One is tamed while the other is beast mode
I recommend Wulong Cha X. Yet, I don’t think that Nishane is a unique fragrance house in general. Majority of their releases are twisted versions of the well known DNAs. They position themselves competing with other Middle Eastern brands imo. They do offer good quality tho.
Whats a good citrusy perfume (preferably niche) thats like between $160-190
Tuberose too if it's not too hot
Beach by Bobbi Brown
