‘Is a tribute to playful treats of life, wittiness, straightforwardness and sincerity. Enjoy being noticed just as the famous shadow puppetry character “Karagöz”. The cheerful opening with the pineapple and the herbs is followed by the strong personality coming from the rich heart made of neroli, jasmine and patchouli. Vetiver, agarwood and amber were meant to be the final strokes of the brush to depict this playful character.’ – Nishane
Karagoz is a really powerful beast from Nishane, that is a bit hard to wear for me for the first hours. It’s like a grape-candy. You can also picture the pineapple, but the grape seems to be much more prominent. It’s earthy and fresh at the same time, with a sweetness that starts to project loudly right through it all.
It’s unique and it performs very well, but I did not enjoy my wearing of it until the late drydown.
