Nin-Shar

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon arose from a longing for green hills, but beneath their blossoms stood an empire built on conquest. JUL ET MAD Nin-Shar combines this opulence and harshness through rose, oud, boozy fruit, and smoke.

Bergamot, rose liqueur, and davana open the extrait brightly, intoxicatingly, and aromatically. The rose immediately feels soaked and ripe, while davana adds a fruity-herbal shade instead of pure floral freshness.

Oud then brings a serious woody weight. Benzoin and bourbon vanilla soften its edges but do not turn it into a sweet background; the garden remains opulent, and beneath the leaves, the hardness of the city can be felt.

Sidonie Lancesseur named the perfume after the Sumerian goddess of gardens and plants. The story is connected to Nebuchadnezzar II and the gardens built for his wife Amytis, to restore to her the image of the green homeland she missed.

Virginian cedar, sandalwood, and frankincense absolute later create a dry, ceremonial base. The rose liqueur darkens, the vanilla becomes more resinous, and the oud remains like a strong wall behind the greenery.

Nin-Shar is not just a romantic rose from a lost garden. It is a rose in liqueur between oud, davana, bourbon vanilla, and Babylonian incense — a gift of love built on the foundations of a powerful, bloody empire.
