Nakuna Helsinki is a luxury perfume brand from Finland founded in 2019 by Anu Igoni and Jaakko Veijola to bring some light and harmony into the cold and darkness of the Finnish winter months.
This desire to escape from the bleak and cold winter days and nights was also reflected in the name of the brand «nakuna», which means «naked» in Finnish.
In today’s review of Nakuna Helsinki, I’ll tell you about its five unisex fragrances, developed in collaboration with the world’s leading perfumers by Givaudan.
The official launch of this perfume brand takes place at the Esxense Expo 2020 in Milan.
