by Nishane
Tero by Nishane is a complex gourmand fragrance centered around a salty caramel core, balanced with fresh and warm spicy notes. The opening features black pepper and Sichuan pepper, giving an immediate fresh, tingling spice that quickly blends into a rich caramel and salt base. Cinnamon and patchouli contribute warmth and earthiness, while oak and vetiver ground the composition with a subtle woody facet. The scent evolves smoothly from its spicy, salty start to a sweet, softly gourmand drydown of caramel, with faint hints of marzipan and roasted coffee. It is perceived as unisex, with varied assessments on its gender alignment—some find it more masculine due to spice and earthiness, others feel it leans feminine from its sweetness and structure. Longevity is strong, with most noting it lasts 10+ hours, though sillage is moderate to intimate. The fragrance performs best in cooler months, ideal for autumn and winter, and is suited for evening wear, though some find it suitable for daytime use. Offers a unique, balanced take on gourmands with an appealing complexity of sweet, salty, spicy, and woody layers.
