Nishane, the Istanbul-based niche house, continues to expand its global footprint with the 2024 release of Deziro. Part of the 'Time Capsule Collection,' Deziro represents a significant collaboration with master perfumer Alberto Morillas. Known for his ability to define the aquatic and aromatic genres, Morillas brings a sophisticated, high-luxury lens to the brand’s existing portfolio. Deziro is positioned as an Extrait de Parfum that bridges the gap between traditional marine fragrances and modern, earthy aromatics. While Nishane is often associated with heavy-hitting compositions like Hacivat or Ani, Deziro offers a more nuanced, atmospheric experience that leans into the 'quiet luxury' trend currently dominating the industry.

As the citrus recedes, a cooling mint and herbal geranium take center stage. The carrot seeds introduce a unique, slightly powdery earthiness that distinguishes it from standard blue fragrances.

The base settles into a sophisticated blend of dry Haitian vetiver and creamy sandalwood, softened by the musky, slightly fruity warmth of ambrettolide.
