Nissaba Tierra Maya is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Ilias Ermenidis. Tierra Maya opens with Cypress and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Cedar, Rose, Cardamom, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Peru Balsam. Nissaba's Tierra Maya carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

A gorgeous, natural-smelling spicy balsamic that earns fervent praise for its quality and comfort, though a persistent complaint about poor longevity means you'll want to reapply.

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.

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.

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

Tierra Maya opens with a sweet, earthy burst of cardamom and warm, inviting cinnamon. As it settles, a smooth, creamy Peru balsam emerges, wrapping around the spices with a gentle, resinous sweetness. A subtle hint of rose weaves through, adding a touch of freshness that keeps the rich composition from feeling heavy. The dry down is a comforting, lightly woody embrace.
