EAU DE PARFUM
100ML
A multi sensorial mix of earth, woods and spices
Sulawesi Island is the main origin of the iconic Patchouli from Indonesia, after decades of this crop progressively moving from his original homeland in Aceh, towards the eastern parts of the archipelago.
High quality extracts of Patchouli have been combined with four other iconic ingredients from Indonesia found in the perfumer’s palette : essential oils and extracts of nutmeg, clove, benzoin ‘Sumatra’, and vetiver ‘Java’.
Originating from the forests of Indonesia, this perfume is a multi sensorial mix of earth, woods and spices that has a distinctive accord with its own signature. It pays tribute to one of the most precious lands on earth for Perfumery.

Nilam cultivation has settled all over the country, a land gifted with volcanic soils, and warm and humid climates. It grows in small plots in combination with other crops, and in rotation for soils to regenerate.
Indonesia provides the highest quality of Patchouli essential oils. SULAWESI contains a high dosage of a premium patchouli extracted by molecular distillation as well as patchouli essence.
Pogostemon cablin leaves are harvested three times a year, dried under shade, and are then distilled directly in farming communities. This activity provides a living for over 20 000 Indonesian families. Sulawesi island is today the main origin.
Styrax benzoin trees are naturally present in the dense forests of Sumatra, in traditional inherited lands. Collected gums are valued for their fragrant properties. This tradition has a strong cultural importance due to the beliefs linked to the use of incenses.
SULAWESI includes Benzoin Sumatra, to complement the profile with ambery facets for this woody fragrance dominated by patchouli, ambox and muscs.
In Sumatra, harvesters of benzoin spend days in the forest tapping trees. With this long tradition inherited from their ancestors, local harvesters act as guardians of the native forests of North Sumatra.
Myristica fragrans is indigenous from Moluccas. It grows well in hot and humid climates, in areas with clay and sandy loam. In Moluccas and Sulawesi, fruits are harvested mature, while in Aceh and Java, fruits are collected young, which is more suitable for steam distillation.
Essential oils of nutmeg is an important ingredient found in fine fragrances. SULAWESI contains a rectified oil that brings a balsamic note to reinforce the amber facets of the fragrance.
Smallholders who cultivate nutmeg trees in plantations have been making a living for several generations. To make essential oil, fruits harvested are sun dried, crushed and distilled in villages.
We give back 5% of our revenues to local communities of harvesters, helping them to embrace the principles of regeneration.
Each time you wear a Nissaba perfume, you make a contribution to the sustainable harvesting of aromatic ingredients.
