Heart notes
Nanshe, composed by Cécile Zarokian and named after the Sumerian goddess, is a powdery oriental-floral extrait. It opens with carrot seeds, cardamom, yuzu and bergamot, blooms into rose, floral notes, water fruit, ylang-ylang and jasmine sambac, and settles into powdery notes, orris, musk, sandalwood and patchouli.
Scent story
To me this smells like a Sumerian goddess's powder room — carrot seeds earthy and strange at first, like the garden before it's tamed, cardamom and yuzu bright as offerings on the altar. It's the weirdest beautiful opening of the year. Rose blooms in the middle, ancient and perfect, water fruit and ylang-ylang keeping it juicy, jasmine sambac heady as temple flowers. Powdery notes, orris, musk and sandalwood settle it into something soft as 4,000 years of history, patchouli just grounding the divinity. Cecile Zarokian bottled a goddess. She smells like powder and power. Beginner-friendly.
