Colognise
by Nishane
Colognise by Nishane is a crisp, polished citrus-floral cologne designed for warm weather, with a bright opening of bergamot, lemon, green tea, and jasmine, followed by a soft, powdery core of lily of the valley and neroli that lingers through a green vetiver and musky base. It balances freshness with a quietly elegant floral depth, evolving from a vibrant citrus-soapy start into a smooth, sustained dry-down with moderate projection and longevity. The fragrance has a clean, refined character that feels unisex but leans slightly masculine in presence due to its green and musky undertones. It performs well through prolonged wear, particularly in daytime settings, and is strongly associated with spring and summer on a warm, breezy day. It offers a rare combination of classic cologne structure with meaningful longevity, making it ideal for outdoor events, casual outings, or a refined touch to a professional look.

Cons
