Fragrance information:

Afrika Olifant Nishane, introduced to the world in 2014, sits firmly in the category of a unisex fragrance, falling within the east family. This fragrance is the result of a creative collaboration between Mert Güzel and Murat Katran . By character, it falls into the leather, animals, and wood groups. The palette of this fragrance is exceptionally rich: traces of balsamic can also be found — a rare combination that makes this perfume truly one of a kind. The fragrance belongs to the Signature collection. Offered in perfume extract concentration.

The sillage is delicate — an intimate cloud that stays close to the skin. In terms of longevity, it sits at moderate — long enough to make a real impression. Country of origin — Turkey: no wonder the fragrance turned out this refined. Afrika Olifant Nishane unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The note pyramid of Afrika Olifant unfolds as a layered story, where layers reveal themselves smoothly and sequentially. The style of Nishane comes through in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. No excess details, only what works, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Perfume extract sets the depth and body this composition needs.

At olfactory-group level the profile is anchored in Animals, Balsamic, Leather and Wood. The framework further includes Musk and Gourmet.

At the opening of the pyramid you meet resinous-spicy opening notes: Frankincense, Grey Ambergris, Labdanum and Myrrh.

In the heart you meet Castoreum, Civet, Leather accord and Oud holding a sensual animalic direction.

The accord architecture is built around these accords: Animalistic, Balsamic, Musc and Wood forming a compact and readable structure. Background accords such as Amber and Leather add depth to the backdrop. The stylistic positioning is unisex, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived. In wear duration Middle suggests confident staying power.

Taken together Afrika Olifant sounds complete from start to finish — the start forms character, the heart develops the core line, while the drydown anchors the memory.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

This is just awful! A smell that causes disgust, not admiration. Animalic notes are at the forefront here, and it seems they're even proud of them. A chaos of oud, civet, and castoreum against a backdrop of cold frankincense, plus leather that's not the softest either. You'd only find something like this from some small brands, because such a fragrance is definitely not for everyone. It's clear why no one buys it
