Cien maneras silenciosas

Glad I finally gave this one a try. I’m figuring out that I love Orris in my fragrances. This is a sweet vanilla fragrance that is also slightly fruity and a wee bit floral. It’s beautifully balanced. Feel like it could be worn in any season day or night.

I only gave it a 3 stars because my body chemistry is hard to work with and I have a sensitive nose that a lot of perfumes does not agree with it.

This is one of those scents that you just can’t stop applying. It’s not that the smell wanes it’s just SOOOO good. All the notes just dance together. Highly recommend 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Amazing product and service I highly recommend

I’m a huge vanilla lover, so I went into this fragrance with high hopes. I also really appreciate a well-done citrus note. Hundred Silent Ways opens beautifully—bright, smooth, and almost wow-worthy. For a moment, it feels complex and promising.

Unfortunately, the magic doesn’t last for me. As it dries down, the vanilla quickly takes over and becomes the dominant note, settling into something much simpler than I expected. On my skin, it turns into a fairly plain vanilla with a slightly metallic edge. What starts out dynamic becomes quite linear, and over time it even becomes a bit headache-inducing for me.

I can absolutely see why many people love this fragrance—it’s pleasant, approachable, and very wearable—but it just doesn’t work for my chemistry or preferences. With all the hype surrounding it, this is often described as a safe blind buy, but I’d strongly recommend sampling first. I suspect others may feel similarly let down once the dry-down reveals itself.

I love White Pearl for the daytime and this for the evening. It has a lot of floral in it, but it also has a lot of depth. I purchased the sample and when the sample was finished, I purchased the full bottle. It’s a very sensual fragrance.

Upon the very first spritz, Hundred Silent Ways is undeniably beautiful. I immediately understood why people compare it to Black Opium—there’s a similar creamy, sweet, inviting opening that feels comforting and elegant.

But within about ten minutes, the fragrance takes a drastic turn. It becomes sharp, almost metallic, and sits harshly at the back of the throat. The dry-down is not just unpleasant—it’s genuinely headache-inducing. For such an expensive perfume, the shift is shocking.

Despite the price difference, Black Opium is by far the better choice in this scent family. Where Black Opium stays warm, wearable, and balanced, Hundred Silent Ways devolves into an almost painful, chemical, borderline nauseating scent. By the time it dries down, it’s honestly one of the most disgusting perfumes I’ve ever smelled.

An elegant first five minutes… followed by hours of regret. Total waste of $400

This scent brings me joy, I would love to wax eloquent but I don't have the words. I completely understand that fragrance is subjective, not everyone will rave about it like me and other like-minded people.

Hundred Silent Ways is my intro to the brand of Nishane. Impeccable first impression as new buyer. It lingers for days on my clothing and hours on my skin. Phenomenal sillage, attention-grabber, compliment magnet etc...

Thank you kind folks at Scent Split for all that you do. More fragrance purchases coming soon, I'm a fan.

Really nice scent, but it comes out more masculine on my skin than I expected. I may give it to my boyfriend. Lasts 6 hours on my skin

Something about this wasn't my favorite vanilla interpretation BUT it is very unique and definitely merits a sample if you are interested in the notes!
