How a Perfumer Turned Paraguayan Tea Into Perfume
Take a deep dive with me in Grasse, France, at Villa Botanica as I sit down with DSM-Firmenich perfumer Alexandra Monet, the nose behind Nissaba’s Chaco. We discuss her creative journey, favorite raw materials like patchouli, and the full breakdown of Chaco’s Paraguay-inspired formula, including mate, petitgrain, and smoky guaiac wood. Plus, Alexandra shares her other perfume creations with Nina Ricci and Kenzo, and how collaborating with master perfumers like Alberto Morillas and Nathalie Lorson shaped her path.
If you love behind-the-scenes conversations with perfumers and learning what really goes into a modern niche scent, this one's for you.
