Set Your Flames

How it Smells

Set Your Flames kicks off with a boozy coconut rush. Think dark rum poured into a fresh coconut shell. It's good, though the coconut has a slight synthetic edge compared to Fan Your Flames. The heart quickly unfolds into a sweet tobacco and tonka bean accord. Rich, comforting, and inviting. This is where it sticks closest to the Nishane original – about 90%. The dry down leans heavier on the cedar, losing some of the nuanced smokiness of the original's oud. It's still pleasant, but feels slightly less complex.

How Long Does it Last?

Longevity is impressive. Expect 7-8 hours on skin, easily lasting longer on clothes. Projection is moderate for the first 2 hours, creating a noticeable scent bubble before settling closer to the skin. It’s powerful enough to get compliments, but not obnoxious.

Final Thoughts

Set Your Flames captures the overall vibe of Fan Your Flames effectively. It’s not a perfect replica, the slightly synthetic opening and cedar-heavy dry down reveal its cloned nature. That said, it offers incredible value. If you're seeking the full Nishane experience, save up. But if you want a taste of that boozy, tobacco-infused warmth without breaking the bank, this is a solid option. Ideal for those who enjoy cozy, gourmand-leaning fragrances and aren't afraid of a little sweetness.
