Nanshe
Nishane
Is the name of a Sumerian goddess of fertility, water and social justice, which was believed to be the patron of dreams and prophecy. She watched over orphans and widows, oversaw fairness, fresh water, birds and fish, fertility, and favoured prophets, giving them the ability to interpret dreams accurately. The main challenge was to create a scent that reflects the kind, compassionate, welcoming and wise attributes of this divine figure. With Nanshe, NISHANE wishes a world where the forgotten, the poor, the lonely, and disenfranchised are looked after. Surrounded by a sublime accord of rose which had been widely resorted to help fertility by many civilizations, Nanshe is suggesting poetic emotions with earthy aromas that will mystically conceive the positiveness even in the darkest times.
