Nissaba Malli Nadu is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Ilias Ermenidis. Malli Nadu opens with Davana, Orange, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Grapefruit, Jasmine, Tuberose, and Palmarosa, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Nissaba's Malli Nadu carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A divisive floral, this one. Some rave about its unique, modern jasmine and impressive performance, calling it a glorious aquatic. Others find it overwhelming and a bit 'vintage', leaning into a screechy tuberose that's just too much.

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.

Its exceptional performance and strong sillage, noted by reviewers, make it less suitable for an office environment where it might be too intrusive. However, the elegant floral and woody notes are perfect for dates and formal events, and it has enough playful zest for a casual evening out.

About

Malli Nadu opens with a juicy burst of mandarin and orange, brightened by davana's slightly fruity, herbal twist. The heart quickly blooms with a powerful jasmine and tuberose, lending a rich white floral character, while grapefruit adds a zesty lift and palmarosa a subtle rosy freshness. It settles into a smooth base of creamy sandalwood, earthy vetiver, and clean cedar, providing a grounding backdrop to the vibrant florals.
