The world first encountered Nisean by Parfums de Marly in 2016. By character, a unisex fragrance drawing from the spicy, east, and floral families. Perfumer Nathalie Gracia-Cetto poured every ounce of mastery into this one. From the Royal Essence collection; released as eau de parfum.
The longevity of this fragrance is moderate — exactly what most occasions call for. Produced in France, and you can feel it in every note. Nisean Parfums de Marly — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.
The fragrance has medium longevity and lasts on the skin for about 5-6 hours, gradually revealing its notes and leaving a pleasant impression
It can be felt in close proximity, but does not attract the attention of those around you
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The note pyramid of Nisean is shaped as a continuous scent journey, where layers reveal themselves without rush and without gaps. The signature of Parfums de Marly is recognizable in the way notes appear and fade. Every decision feels deliberate, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de parfum sets the depth and body this composition needs.
The internal accord map is shaped by these accords: Citrus, Floral, Wood and Amber with each one in a clear role. Secondary accord layers such as Spicy expand the olfactory volume in the background. The profile is unisex, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived. In wear duration Middle points to a sustained drydown presence.
From the first breath you meet sparkling citrus opening notes: Lime and Pink pepper.
In the central layer you meet Geranium and Rose holding a harmonious floral direction.
At olfactory-group level the profile is anchored in Citrus, Spicy, Floral and Ambery. The palette also extends to Wood, Gourmet and Whiteflower.
Overall Nisean sounds complete from start to finish — the opening sets direction, the heart develops the core line, while the drydown anchors the memory. This is the type of composition best experienced on skin.
