# Nishane Perfumes - Turkish Niche Fragrances Online
## The Story of Nishane - Istanbul's First Niche Perfumery
Nishane was founded in 2012 by Mert Güzel and Murat Katran in Istanbul, becoming Turkey's first and only niche perfume brand. The name "Nishane" means "mark" or "symbol" in Turkish - fitting for a brand dedicated to creating unforgettable scent memories.
The two founders brought diverse backgrounds to their venture: Güzel studied sociology and worked in luxury book publishing, while Katran studied international trade and worked as an export manager. Their shared passion for niche fragrances and recognition of the gap in the Turkish market led to Nishane's creation.
Istanbul serves as the primary inspiration for all Nishane fragrances. The city that bridges Europe and Asia reflects in compositions that unite Eastern and Western fragrance traditions. Turkish cultural elements like the traditional shadow play characters Karagöz and Hacivat, or the poetry of Rumi, flow into their collections.
After three years of intensive preparation, Nishane debuted at the Esxence exhibition in 2015 and quickly conquered the international niche world. Today, their fragrances are available in over 120 countries and have established themselves as one of the most celebrated niche brands globally.
## Nishane Signature Collections and Bestsellers
All Nishane fragrances are produced as Extrait de Parfum - the highest concentration level in perfumery. This decision ensures exceptional longevity and intensity that accompanies Nishane wearers throughout the day.
