Nissaba Chaco is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Alexandra Monet. Chaco opens with Mate, Bergamot, Lemon, and Orange, settles into a heart of Lavandin, Petitgrain, Cardamom, and Tea, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vetiver, and Guaiac Wood. Nissaba's Chaco carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

Chaco is a divisive one. Some find it a beautifully refreshing, natural scent with unique character, while others are utterly put off by its green notes or lacklustre performance. Test before you buy, but if it works for you, it really works.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Date

Its fresh, green, and woody character makes it suitable for casual wear and sports, as it is invigorating without being overpowering. The relatively light projection and mixed longevity reports mean it won't offend in an office setting, but it lacks the gravitas for formal events.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavandin

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Chaco opens with an invigorating burst of zesty lemon and bergamot, brightened by the green, slightly bitter nuances of petitgrain. This vibrant citrus top quickly melds into a distinctive heart of earthy, hay-like mate tea, which provides a unique aromatic depth. As it settles, warm, smoky guaiac wood and clean cedar emerge, grounding the fragrance in a natural, woody embrace that evokes a dense, untamed forest. It's an aromatic journey through a verdant landscape.
