Sandalwood, Patchouli, Cocoa, Rum, and Tonka Bean.
“Suma Oriental” is a tribute to the remarkable collection of writings by the Portuguese apothecary Tomé Pires from the 16th century. In a highly detailed work with the melodious title Suma Oriental, he described for the first time the sandalwood trade from the Sumba Islands (in present-day Indonesia). His work later inspired the renowned perfumer François Coty to create the fragrance A Suma, meant to evoke the moonlit beaches of Bali.
“Suma Oriental” is a hypnotic scent that amplifies patchouli in lavish harmony with woody and creamy notes.
