Fan Your Flames X
Coconut and rum open things, but not the beach-bar version: Miroslav Petkov pulls mastic resin alongside them, and the combination reads more like burning driftwood than a cocktail. Tobacco and tonka bean settle into the heart, with carrot and thyme adding a green, almost savory edge that keeps the sweetness honest. Oakmoss and patchouli in the base give this extrait its staying power, and cedar provides the scaffolding. Fan Your Flames X is the 2023 reworking of Nishane's original formula, with more resinous complexity and a better sense of place.
Why We Carry This
Fan Your Flames X represents Nishane at their most refined. The mastic addition over the original formula adds genuine resinous depth, and Miroslav Petkov's handling of the coconut-tobacco accord is skillful enough to make a potentially obvious combination feel specific. The extrait concentration delivers well beyond its price point, and it has earned a devoted following.
