Hailing from Istanbul, Nishane is a house known for crafting bold, emotionally charged fragrances that tell stories without words. With Mana, the tale is rich, mysterious, and deeply spiritual. The name itself evokes layered meaning — from “spiritual energy” in Hawaiian to “everlasting” in Persian — a fitting reflection of the fragrance’s potent presence and timeless aura.
🔎 Scent Profile: A Journey in Layers
Top Notes:
Heliotrope, Saffron, Cardamom, Bergamot
Heart Notes:
Rose, Cypriol, Patchouli, Frankincense, Geranium

Suede, Sandalwood, Labdanum, Oakmoss, Benzoin, Amber
From the very first spray, spiced saffron and creamy cardamom spark intrigue. As it settles, the heart reveals a rich floral incense — rose, olibanum, and earthy patchouli swirl together in ritual-like harmony. In the dry-down, suede, amber, and labdanum create a warm, resinous base that’s as tactile as it is spiritual. It’s a journey — hypnotic, layered, and confidently unorthodox.
📈 Performance: Does It Deliver?
- Longevity: Outstanding – 10 to 12 hours
- Projection: Strong for the first 4 hours, then it settles closer to the skin
- Sillage: Noticeable and elegant — leaves a defined trail indoors, never overwhelming
Just 1–2 sprays is plenty. Its Extrait de Parfum concentration ensures you’re cloaked in scent without ever needing a re-application.

Mana is not just a fragrance — it’s a presence. It wears like a luxurious cloak of incense and spice, grounded in amber and suede. This is not for the faint-hearted; it’s a statement, a ritual, a revelation in scent. If you’re drawn to deep, expressive perfumery that blurs the line between the spiritual and the sensual, Nishane Mana is well worth discovering.
