Hundred Silent Ways X

Hundred Silent Ways X by Nishane completely changed my mind. A friend once told me his fiancée loved the original version, so I gave it a try but found it a bit too feminine for my taste and never revisited it. Then I came across a great deal on the X version and decided to blind buy it and wow, I’m so glad I did. This version is definitely more muscular and bold. Everyone who smells it falls in love immediately. Even my sister stole it from me two days after I got it. That says a lot. It’s what I would call a safe blind buy. You can trust me on that. It opens beautifully with a peachy floral vibe, mainly tuberose, and then shifts into a wave of smooth leather that gives it a strong and elegant presence. I only sprayed it once and it projected very well. I haven’t fully tested the longevity yet, but knowing Nishane and their reputation, I am sure it will deliver excellent performance. This is a fragrance that blends charm and confidence. Elegant, modern, and addictive.

Oh wow — I LOVE this! I was expecting to hate this because I am not a big fan of leather and I already love the original Hundred Silent Ways so I could not imagine a good flanker that’d keep the beauty of the original while being different enough. I was so wrong. Hundred Silent Ways X is a darker, sexier, sultry, night version of the original. It's the beautiful, deliciously sweet white floral-vanilla DNA of the original with a dominant leather note. The leather here is very smooth and adds so much character to the scent while keeping its femininity. The performance is AMAZING too! At least 8 hours of longevity on my skin with a good sillage the whole time. Actually, I can still smell it the next day on my shirt with good sillage still! Well, what a great surprise! This, for me, is the best of the X line. So well blended!

Really beautiful fragrance and I definitely prefer it to the original - it's sweet and fresh and floral, but you can still absolutely smell the leather undertones. The longevity on this on a sample strip is super super long, although I can't comment on how it lasts on clothes/ skin. I would imagine it would last the same way on clothes. The projection is good but not overwhelming. I think this is really lovely especially for spring and could definitely be worn in either warm or cool weather, and would also be inoffensive for the office. The tuberose keeps it sweet and fresh enough to smell 'clean' despite the leather note, although I don't pick up the orange. I don't think I would buy a bottle (purely because I typically gravitate towards gourmands) but I still really really like this!

This is so delicious. I love a bubblegummy tuberose, and the opening is replete with that. It opens really saccharine and fruity, and soon a leathery-woody facet begins shining through. This facet is the most enduring part of the perfume. After a while, the sweetness is reduced to a suggestion on my skin. I am one of those people who can't appreciate a strong patchouli note, so I like that I can't detect a trace of patchouli at all. Just sniffed my wrist again and oh god. Yeah, I LOVE the drydown. I believe it is a versatile fragrance. I can see myself wearing it to work, school, and even on a trip to the supermarket. I can already tell that it is going to last a cute minute. I can't make any comparisons to the OG fragrance because I've never smelled it before, but now I'm curious.

Does anyone else detect a touch of Erba Pura in the opening? There’s a similar bright, almost effervescent fruity accord at the top that immediately commands attention. The evolution of Nishane X Hundred Silent Ways is exceptional. It transitions seamlessly from a luminous white floral–fruit opening into a smooth, refined leather dry down. That progression feels deliberate and beautifully structured rather than abrupt. The leather in the base especially stood out to me — it carries a softness and elegance that reminded me of a lighter, more restrained interpretation of Babycat. It doesn’t dominate; instead, it adds depth and warmth while preserving the fragrance’s refined character. Overall, the composition feels multidimensional and thoughtfully blended
