Thorns Become Roses

Nishane, I feel at the beach, lying down on a feather bed of exotic rose petals, right next to a lychee juice stall, shore a bit far away, light blue horizon, clear sky, sunny day, vacationing, with a cold breeze occasionally hitting me which smells like saffron from the heavens. Absolutely gorgeous, THIS IS LOVE. Interacting with another human while wearing this , you can instantly see their nostrils go wide, taking a deep breath. The senses are amazed. You feel the same yet you see the people around you feel the same. GO OVERBOARD with the sprays. Minimum 8 sprays, all in! It doesn’t get too much at all, just lets you relax at the beach, the feather bed is all yours.

In the first squeeze, the vibrant fruity energy of exotic lychee and raspberry draws attention with the elegant touch of saffron. Turkish rose, mimosa and violet leaf combine in the heart to form a sophisticated and romantic character. In the base notes, patchouli, amberwood and sandalwood leave a warm, creamy and permanent mark. Thanks to the perfect balance of fruity sweetness and elegant rose notes, it is a modern and remarkable signature fragrance that can be easily preferred both in daily use and in special invitations. Amazing. Everybody should have it! 🌹

absolutely love rose-centered fragrances that still feel masculine. In that regard, Bvlgari Garanat is an absolute masterpiece to me. As soon as I saw this fragrance’s note breakdown, I added it to my must-try list, and I finally had the chance to test it today. It’s a beautiful rose fragrance with strong performance, suitable for year-round wear. Despite its performance, it isn’t overly dense or heavy. Instead, it’s remarkably smooth, fresh, and even has a subtle powdery quality. To my nose, though, it leans a little more toward the feminine side. I had a similar impression with LV Les Sables Roses. I’ll definitely pick up a sample and wear it a few more times. If I end up feeling that it works well on a man, it will certainly be a fragrance I’ll add to my collection.

a long-time collector with over 200 bottles in my collection, it has been a while since a fragrance truly stopped me in my tracks. Thor Becomes Roses by Nishane is easily one of the best releases I have smelled in the last 5 years—and without a doubt a top contender for the best perfume of 2026. Another absolute masterpiece from Julien Rasquinet. Calling this a "rose fragrance" feels like a massive understatement. It opens with a stunning rose, but as it develops, a velvety violet note emerges in the heart. The true magic happens in the drydown: as the rose gradually subsides, it reveals an intriguing, almost indescribable accord that settles on the skin with notes of violet, lilac, rich woods, and a subtle touch of leather. As expected from Nishane, the performance is stellar—it lasts forever and radiates beautifully off the skin. It has been years since a scent gave me a reaction like this. A true work of art.

Can not wait for this one., is officially scheduled for a July 2026 global launch. The fragrance made its debut at an unveiling event in Milan on June 3, 2026, and is slated to roll out to UK retailers shortly. EDIT got to try this a few days ago at Harrods It's Opening is strong not that it's bad far from it, but the dry down an hour later is where this shines.I now get the name and it make total sence.A great Fragrance 9.8/10

It strongly recalls Montale’s classic oud and rose compositions, offering little in terms of originality. That said, it’s still an enjoyable fragrance with a pleasant scent profile. In my opinion, Aoud Queen Roses is the better choice it is more affordable while also feeling far more mystical, distinctive, and compelling.

I have never smelled anything like this before, by that I mean I have never smelled anything that photorealistic before. A dark red rose, a bouquet of them. I was surprised that it has any other notes than just rose in it. It’s wonderful!

Not sure why they felt the need to spam this fragrance with fake ratings to boost longevity and sillage ratings - the fragrance is strong, just trust in your damn product . A brand that behaves like this is soo off putting

Lychee rose again?? Still can't wait to try!
