Lee’s artistic vision is best exemplified through his collaboration with the Turkish niche house Nishane, for which he has created some of the brand’s most iconic fragrances.
His masterpiece, Hacivat, is a modern chypre that balances bright pineapple and citrus notes with refined oakmoss and woody accords—showcasing his ability to reinterpret classical structures with a contemporary edge.
With Wūlóng Chá, he crafted one of the most distinctive fresh fragrances on the market, blending citrus brightness with the calming depth of oolong tea to create a clean, almost meditative olfactory experience.
Karagoz reveals a darker, more mysterious side of his work, opening with a bold mix of grape and pineapple before evolving into a rich woody-oud base, demonstrating his skill in balancing contrasts.
Lee describes his style as mystical, elegant, and versatile—qualities that permeate his creations. His signature lies in combining Turkish ingredients such as Isparta rose and mastic with the exotic influences of his Colombian roots.
He approaches woody notes with particular care, understanding their power to either enhance or dominate a composition. This thoughtful balance between innovation and respect for classical perfumery principles has established him as a master craftsman whose fragrances are defined by performance, character, and lasting appeal.
