Ylang-ylang, jasmine, and magnolia glide smoothly through the warmth. Ambroxan and white musk conjure neither powder nor soap — just a clean-skin aura.

Malli Nadu by Nissaba £150.00
- Key notes:
- jasmine
- mandarin
- sandalwood
- tuberose
- Aromagroups:
- floral
In India, flowers are sacred symbols and an essential part of daily life. “Malli Nadu” means “land of jasmine”, inspired by the paradise of perfume ingredients found in India. There’s jasmine sambac, cultivated in India since antiquity, with its radiant fruity/green sheen and animalic undertone. There’s tuberose, an opulent, powerful floral, along with davana, an aromatic plant unique to India with a profile that vibrates between apricot and herbaceous. Palmerosa oil supplies a geranium-like lift, while Indian vetiver and sandalwood deepens and softens the composition. Perfumer Ilias Ermenidis sought to translate the romance of India into this luminous scent, which he calls “a fragrance for lovers”

Purple line
Perfumer: Karine Vinchon
A beautiful floral abstraction, sheer delight for the olfactive imagination: is it a lilac, or spicy carnation or all the aromas of many humble meadow flowers mixed in the spring rain?
The shady cool and crisp orris (made very dry with cedar and tonka) offers a floral riddle which every nose solves in his or her own way.

With Delirium, the wearer becomes the dreamer and the dream, lost in a world where anything is possible.
Tubereuse Absolue Extrait by Perris Monte Carlo £250.00
- Key notes:
- galbanum
- gardenia
- tuberose
- Aromagroups:
- floral
- vintage/old school
In the aromatic universe, tuberose lounges between the themes of lush creamy white floral, surprisingly bitter hay-like green and sharp spicy.
Perris is fascinated by nature’s fragrant treasures, and make perfume materials THE story of each of their perfumes. So much so, that they experiment with the same perfume material in two different perfume architectures: eau de parfum and extait.
How does this work? Tubereuse Abolue EdP is a sweet luscious bloom. On the extrait version, the darker earthier side of tuberose is encouraged with cedarwood, vetiver, and aggressively green galbanum.
