What wearers say
“This is absolutely beautiful elegant scent.I pick up the peach and mandarin in the opening but the dry down is all creamy gardenia, vanilla and sandalwood.But the problem is that it has zero projection on my skin. The dry down is also too similar to Black Opium on my skin, which is less than half the price.So at this price I will definitely not be buying a whole bottle.The other 2 Nishane perfumes I tested were Havicat and Wulóng Chá, and to my nose they were quite hideous. So Hundred Silent Ways was certainly the best of the 3 I tried. Need to try Ani next time.”
“I’m not sure whether I like this perfume or not. I really enjoy the opening, it’s very fresh and fruity, but the base turns out far too sweet for me, almost like caramel, which I don’t particularly appreciate. I can’t wait to try it in the winter and layer it with some oud. The sillage is somewhat weak on my skin, but the longevity is incredible, lasting more than 9 hours.”
“I didn't get the Black Opium similarity at first, but after 2-3 hours it was really the heart/drydown of Black Opium. Which I already have, and is cheaper than this. The opening is nothing special, kinda overhyped for what it is (in price too).”
