Zenne

“ZENNE is a tribute to beauty, self-confidence, and flirtation.” Female leaning “Inspired by the female character in the traditional shadow puppetry, ZENNE will teleport you to the enigmas of the paradise gardens full of joy and romance with a deliberate mix of the fruity and floral accords along with vanilla, ambergris and musk at the base.” This interesting and delicious scent opens up with fruity notes of Grapefruit, Rhubarb and Black Currant and that mix luckily remains longer than top notes usually do. That is because Nishane uses synthetic molecules which make the notes not only last longer but make a sillage more potent as well. The floral heart of Turkish Rose and Gardenia joins and mingles with the fruits but in overall the blend continues being mouthwatering and juicy yet elegant and sensual. Sandalwood makes the blend soft, a little bit milky (not creamy)and even if it’s rich there is even aromatic nuances in the blend. The base of Vanilla, Ambergris and Musk brings a warm and slightly powdery very pleasant touch without being too sweet. This is so alluring and voluptuous perfume with enormous projection and longevity. I feel youthful, lively and inviting while wearing this. This is really mellow and potent juice. Zenne is suitable to wear year around because of how it has been built, there is a depth and warm enough for colder days even if it’s floral fruity. I think that this is quite underrated and it has stayed literally in the shadow of another scent from the Shadow Play Collection, very popular Hacivat. Thank you for reading, I hope my review was helpful. I would appreciate a lot if you want to follow me on IG and/or YouTube (English subtitles): @ninamariahperfumes It gives me a lot of motivation to write more. 🤗

-->Complex,sweet,floral,musky-incensy,powdery(yet sharp)<--- If you know anything about Nishane, they aren't exactly a perfume line of the subtle or quiet...and Zenne definitely lives up to it 🥰. Zenne--- IMPO,She's that bold,vocal, daring older sister or aunt...in short...she's that mature, strong independent woman. I inferred to the female gender only because this is quite sweet,floral and powdery. These notes are pronounced,and likely, not for most guys who seek for something more masculine leaning(i.e. strong leather/tobacco). I said, "Mature"--- because this definitely is not a juvenile scent. Not a simple sugar and candy singular notes (ie. Pink Sugar). Don't get me wrong...this perfume is SWEET. Some have been commenting smelling "cat pee". I do not at all!! Another reason,why perfume is so subjective to the wearer. Anyhow, spray sparingly..2 is more than enough IMPO, another beautiful hit from the house of Nishane !

My husband gifted this to me this morning for the Valentine's Day and I'm once again so amazed at how wonderfully these people put so much research, thought and care for their creations. The box is a treasure as well as the perfume. The card inside the box represents the perfume with a beautiful illustration..After 10 minutes of spray, I am taken back to childhood memories in Istanbul of hard red candies my mom used to buy for us at the local candy store in my old neighborhood. It was my favorite trip to that store. I was so little I could hardly see him leaning over asking us (three sisters) which candies I wanted in my bag and the red one that this perfume reminds me of was always one of the choices. The cinnamon and spice, the rhubarb and the intoxicating Turkish rose that I adore. Thank you Nishane, for bringing back those precious memories. You are a dream come true for any serious perfume lover and collector!

I love Zenne. The opening is as sweet as cotton candy with rhubarb sourness. After a while the cotton candy is replaced by roses accompanied by patchouli. Patchouli? It may be sandalwood. There is no patchouli in the notes, but I feel it is patchouli. And this middle note reminds me of Frédéric Malle's Portrait of a Lady. But Portrait of a Lady is a more accomplished woman. Elegance with perfect sophistication and a loneliness that can't go any further. Zenne is younger. She's still raw and uninhibited, with great ambition and charm. The last note is a sweet and bewitching thin layer of musk and ambergris. It lasts like a thin veil of musk. I sprayed this in the morning and noticed this musk veil lasted until evening when I showered. I didn't get the impression that Zenne was sweet or fruity. She definitely has her sweetness and fruitiness, but what struck me was the unsweetened Turkish rose, sandalwood and musk.

As interested as I was in trying this, part of me thought: how different/unique can a fruity vanilla floral fragrance be? Seems like everyone is making them these days. How wrong I was! This is indeed a fruity vanilla, but with not a lot of florals, and this is a fresher take, both figuratively and literally. It is quite green, almost herbal, in the opening and then the fruit and vanilla notes come out more, but it still remains fairly green. There is rhubarb and grapefruit, making it slightly tart, but rhubarb is not used the same way here as it is in Delina. Overall, this is a very sophisticated fruity vanilla fragrance that smells like nothing else I have tried.

I'm into my 3rd bottle, I wish there was a 100ml. This is tart, red fruits rubbed into my skin by mighty hands. Long red strokes along my back. Rhubarb and grapefruit accentuate the edginess of this uncompromising ensemble. Thank god for the vanilla that gives some body and comfort to this raw jam. I love it. Took me some time to get it. At times it seems cheap almost trashy. It's like waking up after a loud party. You look at yourself in the mirror, your hair is a mess, and the eyeliner is half missing, but there is something beautiful about the look in your eyes and your lips are plump.

Not too aromatic, citrus or green really, don’t run from this if you see those accords and think it’s not for you (as I almost did!). It’s just slightly fresh and slightly salty. On me it leans feminine. A fresh and fruity floral, and so well blended. No screaming Rose, no sour shouting tart rhubarb. Dries into a lovely candied fruity scent, dry softly spiced, just soooo delicious. Really a happy blind buy. Wish I’d got the 100ml! I’d be happy if someone bought me this, I’m not sure if anything could offend, iso a safe blind buy.

I have many Nishane fragrances and this is probably my favorite. Very underrated. You definitely get some tang from the rhubarb and florals then something that comes off almost slightly spicy or green in the background. It's very unique and not like anything I've smelled before. I saw some comments comparing to La Belle which it smells absolutely NOTHING like. It's only moderately sweet, whereas La Belle is very sweet (imo.) I think this would be best in Spring, maybe Fall.

My first honestly earned money as a child was received precisely for picking blackcurrant berries at grandma garden. Currant is absolutely definitely not my favorite berry, but as a scent it is very warming and brings back pleasant memories. I also have One umbrella for two, which are very similar to Zenne, they both about currant pie. But my hand much more often reaches for Zenne, because the green accord of rhubarb adds a jewelry balance to the composition.

Zenne has that Nishane vanilla that I find so alluring. I wish it was toned down a bit here but this is marketed as a primarily femme fragrance. There's a nice mixed berry tangy note that helps to offset the sweetness. In the drydown I get primarily a vanilla and indistinct green note like freshly trimmed hedges. That may not sound pleasant but it is. Vanilla is still too dominant and if it was more restrained it would skew more unisex.

I can not understand why this is not more hyped. Zenne is beautiful! Fruity vanilla and sweet but not in any way juvenile. This scent is seductive, sexy and cozy. While still being fresh. On me it lasts 10h with ease during winter in Sweden, I'm yet to try it in warmer weather. Lasts better than hundred silent ways and I like the dry down better on Zenne. This is by far my favorite female from nishane. 100% worth a try!

I like Zenne because it smells just like a type of incense I often burn. I bought this over the summer and loved it, but it faded quickly in the heat. Now that the weather is cooling, Zenne has been performing beautifully on my skin. The juicy top notes really get their time to shine rather than disappearing into the summer air. This is going to be my fall signature. Also, layer this with Ani and talk to me later...

Fruity (tart) and light floral (can’t detect individual floral notes even the rose) sandalwood and strong vanilla. Projects amazingly well. Smells delicious. Suitable for all occasions, blind buy safe if you like a strong sweet fragrance. PS The tart sour (blackcurrant or grapefruit?) edge wears off completely after an hour and it becomes smoother, woodier and creamier.

Love it. It is fruity, but not sticky, sweet, but also fresh. So intriguing! Very alive. On my skin, black currant dominates, which I like. Normally, fruit scents are too sweet for me and always find them somehow cheap. But this one is not cheap. It is very well blended and it is definitely something special. I think it could be a good signature scent.

Someone below me described this perfectly. "A cold whipped wateriness, creating a really icy vibe" That's exactly how I perceive it after top notes die off. It smells watery but also aerated in a way, almost like whipped cream. Performance is stellar due to high concentration like all Nishane scents. Scent 8/10 Performance 8/10

If you want one niche happy fruity perfume go for this. It is very balanced with tartness of rhubarb and sweetness of vanilla. Upfront and In between the happiness of red fruits and the quality dry down of musk and sandalwood. Fruity and classy, not teenage vibes. Office safe, a bit cheeky, good blind buy. Recommended 4/5

An unexpected like for me. I get a fruity watery scent from this that lasts forever. I wore this on a cold night, and the cold whipped the wateriness around, creating a really icy vibe. I think it would be phenomenally refreshing for summer. It’s one of those rare scents that creates an experience for me. I love those.

You’d think that from all the beautiful notes that this perfume would smell amazing but no, it’s just nice, smells like so many other fruity florals I have . It’s a shame, it could have been a great one, but perfumer choose to take the boring safe route .

This is really beautiful,joyful and lively... a harmonious joy. In the drydown it is musky and soft, very evocative! I love this perfume. Sillage and longevity are enormous. Very beautifull! Sillage: 10./10 Longevity: 10./10 Scent: 9./10 Overall: 9./10

That’s a very sweet floral scent with a touch of zesty and fruity freshness. I can feel loooooots of creamy (and somewhat intoxicating) gardenia. Reminds me of a fresher and juicier version of Baciami Bulgari. My ig: scent.guidue
