Palais Nizam – Eau de Parfum

Wienerblut – a Viennese niche label with a sense for history. Palais Nizam tells the story of Archduke Franz Ferdinand's 1893 journey to Hyderabad, where the Nizam received him at Chowmahalla Palace – a whisper of brandy in the top note conjures crystal decanters.

Palais Nizam smells leathery, woody, and fruity. Saffron pistils and bergamot open warmly spiced, dry prune and a hint of brandy add fruity depth, at the heart davana lends a winey, herbaceous facet, before vintage leather, cistus, and oakwood lay down a warm, leathery-woody base.

Palais Nizam works best in the colder months and in the evening – a unisex fragrance for anyone who loves opulent stories.

What makes this fragrance special to us: the whisper of brandy up top – a moment of courtly opulence that gives Palais Nizam its narrative depth.
