NISHANE (nişane, Turkish for symbol), Istanbul's first niche perfume brand, is inspired by the deep-rooted traditions, modern vision and cosmopolitan structure of its hometown. The unique scents tell stories of the most famous places in the world, but deep in the heart they carry the soul of the centuries-old city of Istanbul. For NISHANE, the creation of perfumes is an important form of art. Each fragrance is a tribute to different emotions and moods that represent unforgettable moments. NISHANE's motto is based on a quote from the poet Rumi: “Don't settle for stories of how others have done it. Develop your own myth.
