Fragrance house

Nakuna

Nakuna Helsinki is a Finnish fragrance brand created by entrepreneurs and creative directors Anu Igoni and Jaakko Veijola. The idea emerged in 2017 during a family trip to Provence, and Nakuna Helsinki Oy began operations in 2018 in Helsinki. The brand’s identity draws on a Nordic mindset and Finnish experiences, including darkness, seasonal contrasts, nature, travel, and escapism. Its initial collection comprised five fragrances developed with Givaudan, translating Finnish themes into scent through ideas such as an icy open-water dip, midsummer magic, and the thrill of rally driving; Avanto and Mittumaari are named examples from that collection. Nakuna Helsinki’s journey is ending, and its perfumes will not be restocked.
