Do you want to know more about this perfume?
Berbera by Nissaba is an amber and woody eau de parfum built on the three resins of the Horn of Africa: incense, myrrh and opoponax. Berbera is the Somaliland port through which the harvest of these resins passes. Signed by Fabrice Pellegrin with Coralie Spicher.
The top note combines incense, nutmeg, pink pepper, black pepper and elemi. It is an opening that is both spicy and fresh, where the elemi adds a citrusy and resinous nuance that lifts the incense from the very first moment.
The heart blends an incense with accorded and powdery facets with myrrh. It is the darkest part of the composition, and the one that gives it that closed, mineral character that sets it apart from a conventional church incense.
The base is formed by pyrolyzed incense, with a smoky character, and opoponax. Together they add density, texture and a resinous warmth that supports the trail. Nissaba declares a longevity of 4 out of 5 and a projection of 4 out of 5.
What notes does Berbera have?
Nissaba lists incense, nutmeg, pink pepper, black pepper, and elemi in the top notes; incense and myrrh in the heart; and pyrogenated incense and opoponax in the base.
What is pyrogenated incense?
An extract obtained by applying heat to the resin, which develops smoky and amber facets different from those of distilled incense.
How long does Berbera last?
The brand rates it 4 out of 5 for longevity and 4 out of 5 for projection, within its own scale.
Who is it for?
Nissaba classifies it as masculine, although the incense and resin profile works just as well on any skin.
When is it best worn?
The brand recommends it for night, in autumn and winter.
