The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2015 by Une Nuit Nomade, Suma Oriental is a sophisticated unisex fragrance crafted by perfumers Anne-Sophie Behaghel and Amélie Bourgeois. This composition blends the rich warmth of cacao pod and rum with earthy patchouli and woody accords like guaiac wood and sandalwood. The heart of tonka bean adds a sweet, balsamic depth that contrasts beautifully with the spicy undertones of nagarmotha oil. Suma Oriental is designed to evoke a sense of warmth and comfort while maintaining an air of mystery.
Suma Oriental's rich base notes take time to develop fully, so give it at least an hour to settle on your skin. One or two sprays will suffice; the fragrance is designed to be close-to-skin rather than expansive.
