Malli Nadu – Eau de Parfum

Nissaba – a Geneva perfume house that sources raw materials where they grow and supports local projects with 5% of its sales. In Tamil Nadu, jasmine sambac buds are called “malli”, and since Tamil Nadu means “land of the Tamils”, Malli Nadu poetically stands for the “land of jasmine”.

Malli Nadu smells of white flowers, mandarin and wood – green, floral and fruity. Indian davana with mandarin and orange opens, at the heart tuberose and jasmine join with Paradisone, before vetiver, sandalwood and cedarwood carry the base.

Malli Nadu is best in spring and summer and suits the day. The gender-neutral fragrance feels bright, friendly and optimistic – a scent for sunshine, flower markets and a light mood.

What makes Malli Nadu special to us is the tuberose: it is modern in spirit, neither powdery nor indolic, and shines together with davana and white flowers – a floral that radiates joy. It was composed by Ilias Ermenidis.
