B-612 by Nishane is a modern, woody fougère with a prominent cashmeran heart that evolves into a smooth, creamy, and mineralic composition. It opens with bright, herbal notes of lavender, cypress, and geranium, delivering a fresh, slightly green character. Over time, the fragrance settles into a balanced blend of woody, musky, and powdery accords, with cashmeran providing a soft, luxurious base. The scent feels both refined and grounded, evoking a polished yet introspective barbershop aesthetic — not the typical soapy or overtly masculine type, but rather a cool, elegant, and modern interpretation. While some find it dry and more 'earthy' than overtly aromatic, many appreciate its nuanced transition, especially in cooler weather. The sillage is moderate, and the longevity is long, with a soft presence that lingers well past 10 hours. It’s versatile enough for work or casual settings and is often praised for its quality and distinctive character, though it’s not universally loved due to its strong cashmeran dominance and subtle earthy undertones.
