Unearthing the Essence: Suma Oriental Une Nuit Nomade
Suma Oriental by Une Nuit Nomade is inspired by the writings of the 16th century Portuguese apothecary, Tomé Pires. In his book "Suma Oriental", he wrote about Southeast Asia in great detail, and revealed that sandalwood comes from the Sumba Islands, which are now part of Indonesia. This historical discovery not only sheds light on the origin of this precious wood, but also paints a vivid picture of Southeast Asia's rich culture and natural landscape. The fragrance of Suma Oriental pays homage to this discovery by featuring patchouli as its main note, which embodies the lushness of the region.
Olfactory Notes
Suma Oriental Une Nuit Nomade unfolds like an intoxicating journey through exotic lands. It begins with a bold and opulent opening, where the rich, velvety aroma of cocoa and the deep, boozy warmth of rum create an indulgent, almost hedonistic first impression. As it develops, the heart reveals earthy, enigmatic patchouli, adding a raw, sensual depth reminiscent of ancient spice routes. In the drydown, creamy tonka bean, smooth sandalwood, and warm cashmere wood envelop the skin, creating a lingering, seductive aura. The final stage is soft yet intense, blending musk and guaiac wood for a long-lasting, mysterious trail.
