SULAWESI

Sulawesi is a unisex eau de parfum by Nissaba, the Geneva-based house that creates artistic perfumes with single-origin natural extracts. It is a deep, modern spicy woody scent, a multisensory journey through the earth, woods and spices of Indonesia.

The Fragrance

The fragrance celebrates the great perfumery tradition of the Indonesian archipelago and pays tribute to the island of Sulawesi, which over time has become the main source of one of the country's most iconic raw materials, after decades of cultivation migrating from Aceh to the eastern regions. Patchouli, nutmeg, clove, benzoin and vetiver come from the volcanic soils and humid climate of Indonesia, and tell with character and personality the story of the archipelago's emblematic raw materials, with 92% ingredients of natural origin. It is signed by perfumer Nicolas Bonneville, who sought for this land an accord with a signature of its own.

How It Evolves on Skin

The opening is spicy and aromatic: Indonesian nutmeg joins the resinous freshness of juniper berries. In the heart benzoin from Sumatra brings a soft, ambery warmth, intertwined with the warm spiciness of clove. The base is powerful and modern: Indonesian patchouli, cedarwood and Java vetiver, enhanced by ambroxan, leave a woody, earthy, long-lasting trail.

We recommend Sulawesi to those who love woody, earthy perfumes with a spicy heart, and to anyone looking for a natural fragrance with great character to wear with ease. It is ideal from autumn to spring, at the office, in your free time and in the evening. Leaning masculine, it suits everyone.
