MALLI NADU

Malli Nadu is a unisex eau de parfum by Nissaba, the Geneva-based house that creates artistic perfumes with single-origin natural extracts. It is a luminous, fruity white floral, a tribute to the flowers and traditions of South India.

The Fragrance

The name Malli Nadu poetically evokes the land of a flower that symbolises South India. In Tamil Nadu flowers hold deep cultural value: they are sacred symbols in Hindu ceremonies, woven into garlands and celebrated at weddings, and every day farmers bring them to bustling markets for offerings and decorations. The fragrance pays tribute to this heritage, with flowers grown in the plantations of Madurai and raw materials harvested in the hills of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, with over 90% of the formula of natural origin. It is signed by perfumer Ilias Ermenidis, who set out to translate this land and the emotion of its flowers into a perfume.

How It Evolves on Skin

The opening is sunny and sparkling: Indian davana, with its fruity, slightly boozy character, joins the fizzy light of mandarin and orange. In the heart a white, creamy bouquet blossoms: tuberose and jasmine sambac, with paradisone and palmarosa, express themselves with a natural, radiant freshness. The base accompanies the flowers with elegance: Indian vetiver, creamy sandalwood and cedarwood leave a soft, luminous trail.

Who We Recommend Malli Nadu To
