Do you want to know more about this perfume?
Malli Nadu by Nissaba is a white floral and fruity eau de parfum built with materials from Tamil Nadu, in southern India. The name refers to the land of jasmine, and the brand dedicates it to that region and its flower crops. Signed by Ilias Ermenidis.
The opening combines davana, mandarin, and orange. Davana, an Indian aromatic plant, adds a fruity and slightly liqueur-like nuance that gives the citrus more depth and keeps the opening from feeling like an ordinary hesperidic opening.
The heart brings together tuberose, Sambac jasmine, Paradisone, and palmarosa. Nissaba uses absolutes of Sambac jasmine and tuberose, the two white flowers of the area, and the result is dense and luminous at the same time.
The base is made up of Indian vetiver, sandalwood, and cedar. The woods and the root add depth and support the flowers without darkening them. Nissaba states a longevity of 3 out of 5 and a projection of 3 out of 5.
