Nishane Afrika Olifant

Afrika Olifant by Nishane is not for the faint-hearted—this is wild beauty, captured in scent. Earthy, primal, and unapologetically bold, it opens with a smouldering blend of myrrh, ambergris, olibanum, and labdanum that immediately pulls you into an ancient, almost sacred wilderness. The heart is deeply animalic—castoreum, civet, leather, and oud merge to create a raw, untamed intensity that evokes the thick heat of the savannah and the power of the beast it’s named after. As it settles, synthetic civet and musk linger like a shadow at dusk—mysterious, sensual, and unforgettable. Afrika Olifant isn’t about pleasing everyone—it’s about truth, instinct, and the primal memory of skin and smoke. A statement piece for the daring nose. Discover it as a perfume sample at remiScent, where your olfactory journey begins.

Jorge Lee

Jorge Lee is a senior perfumer who has made a name for himself in the fragrance industry through his work with some of the world's most well-known brands. Born and raised in Bogota, Colombia, Lee developed an appreciation for cooking and using spices and herbs from a young age. He also had a keen sense of smell and would associate different fragrances with those who wore them.

After studying economics at university and starting a job at a Dutch bank, Lee was contacted by a headhunter who was recruiting for Unilever's new office in Bogota. The company was looking for someone to fill a marketing role at Quest International, a fragrance company. Lee knew immediately that this was the job for him and he jumped at the opportunity.

Once at Quest International, Lee was offered the chance to train as an evaluator, and he quickly showed a talent for perfumery. He eventually became a senior perfumer and has since worked with a number of well-known fragrance companies, including Givaudan and MG International Fragrance Company. He has also worked with several niche brands, including Alghabra Parfums, Calaj, Nishane, and Unique'e Luxury.
