Nishane Meant to Be Seen is a unisex fragrance launched in 2025, created by perfumer Jordi Fernández. It belongs to the Floral, Powdery, Nutty family and opens with bergamot and violet. The heart reveals a creamy, elegant blend of orris butter, civettone, and moxalone, while the base settles into a warm, long-lasting mix of akigalawood, sesame, ambrettolide, and sandalwood.
Why Is This Perfume Called “Meant to Be Seen”?
The name “Meant to Be Seen” says it all — this fragrance is for anyone who owns their presence. It’s not shy or subtle; it’s confident, elegant, and impossible to ignore. Every creamy floral note and warm woody base is crafted to show off your character and style, making sure your essence is felt, noticed, and remembered. With Nishane, it’s more than just a perfume — it’s a statement, a signature, a little spotlight in a bottle. Simply put, it’s made for those who are truly meant to be seen.
What Nishane Says About the Scent of Meant to Be Seen
Opening with bergamot and violet, the fragrance feels bright and fresh. At its heart, the rich creaminess of orris butter intertwines with moxalone and a soft, animalic trace of civette, creating an elegant, velvety core. The base is warm and inviting: sesame and sandalwood add a nutty, textured depth, while ambrettolide and akigalawood wrap the skin in a creamy, radiant trail. Overall, it’s a luminous, creamy composition that beautifully balances delicate floral notes with a warm, woody foundation.

Author’s Note:
Moxalone is a synthetic aroma molecule developed by Givaudan, characterized by its creamy, musky, and skin-like texture. It’s often used in perfumery to enhance longevity and smoothness, providing a velvety base that complements floral and woody notes.
How I Experience This Scent
The fragrance opens with a soft citrus accompanied by musk, bright and lively without ever feeling sharp or sour. This initial burst is quickly followed by a creamy orris note, adding a delicate, powdery texture to the scent.
As it unfolds, the orris and the violet steps forward, creating a soft, floral heart. Tiny hints of sesame add a gentle, nutty nuance, while the woods stay soft and cozy, with just the right touch of sweetness so nothing ever overwhelms.
In the dry down, the fragrance settles into a cozy, warm, musky base. Sandalwood and ambrettolide create a lasting, skin-like trail that lingers gently and pleasantly throughout the day.

Overall Impression
Nishane Meant To Be Seen is a fragrance that blends creamy floral iris/violet notes with a warm, woody base, creating a scent that feels clean, elegant, and effortlessly wearable. The combination of violet and orris is lovely, and the sandalwood adds a smooth, powdery finish that’s subtle — not overly animalic at all.
It’s quite a linear fragrance, but it feels clean and pure, which was actually the opposite of what I expected from reading the notes. I like it because it’s versatile, suitable for many occasions, and has very good longevity. It’s a really nice perfume, and I don’t own many scents with this kind of profile — maybe I’ll consider it for my collection someday.
I want to add a quick note here: I highly recommend trying the scent before buying. Some people don’t react well to civettone, and it can be a bit sensitive for certain noses. Also, if you usually prefer floral or sweet fragrances, or scents leaning heavily on amber and tonka, this perfume might not match your usual scent profile.

The Name, the Scent, and the Bottle — Do They Tell the Same Story?
I have to say, I absolutely love the name — it feels bold, confident, and really sends a powerful message, so full credit to Nishane for that. Now I want to hear from you: do you think the name actually matches the scent? And for a little fun twist — what about the bottle color? Does it give off the same vibe as the fragrance inside, or is it a totally different story? I’d love to know your thoughts!
