One thing I'd bet is that the 'A' is a modified N. Unfortunately, I don't recognize the basic font, although I like the graceful styling.

I think you were right the first time with Peignot. The lower case provides the 'ennn' and the upper case provides the S, which is scaled down to match the size, and then thickened with some stroke addition. Here is what I got using Peignot light. I think Medium would have worked better, but it was all I had. I did some stretching, and flattening, and blocked out the right stem of the last n, and stretched out the apex by using a black triangle. Voila! (almost) [The top image is the original sample]

I can't help with the ID, but I thought I'd post this image to put it in context.

I think this is a custom designed logo, but it's possible
they were inspired by something like Peignot.
Two other typefaces that have a similarly structured "S"
are Emigre's Dogma and MvB's Magnesium.
