CHACO

Chaco is a unisex eau de parfum by Nissaba, the Geneva-based house that creates artistic perfumes with single-origin natural extracts. It is a fresh, elegant aromatic citrus scent, inspired by colognes and dedicated to Paraguay.

The Fragrance

The Chaco is the second-largest primary forest in Latin America, called the “impenetrable forest” because of its dense vegetation. This Paraguayan ecosystem is the only source of a precious sacred wood and supplies many of the fragrance's raw materials, from citrus fruits to the leaves behind the country's traditional drinks. The result is a cologne-inspired composition built around the idea of a refined infusion: clear, modern and designed as the ideal companion for mornings, with at least 90% natural ingredients. It is signed by perfumer Alexandra Monet, who imagined a dialogue between yerba mate and petitgrain within a green tea fragrance, fresh and vibrant, warmed by palo santo.

How It Evolves on Skin

The opening is green and sparkling: Paraguayan yerba mate joins the fizzy freshness of bergamot and lemon. In the heart Paraguayan petitgrain meets a refined tea accord, the aromatic note of lavandin and the spicy touch of cardamom. The base brings a calm, reassuring energy: palo santo from the Chaco forest, vetiver and cedarwood leave a clean, woody trail.

Who We Recommend Chaco To

We recommend Chaco to those who love colognes and fresh, natural perfumes, and to anyone looking for an elegant, relaxing fragrance to start the day well. It is perfect in spring and summer, at the office, in your free time and whenever you want to feel clean and light. Unisex, it suits him and her.
