Nissaba - Berbera

Nissaba Berbera is an amber woody incense eau de parfum that pays tribute to the resins of the Horn of Africa. Named for Somaliland's port city, where desert meets sea, it follows incense, myrrh and opoponax through a composition of spice, leather-like texture and deep resinous warmth. This is incense as the central material rather than a passing accent.

A superfluid extract of spicy incense opens alongside resinous elemi, nutmeg and black pepper. In the heart, incense takes on leathery and powdery facets against the warmth of myrrh. Pyrogenic incense gums bring a darker, heat-touched character to the base, where amber facets meet a superfluid extract of Somali opoponax. The result is an intense, long-lasting fragrance that explores the different textures of resin from its bright, spicy edges to its richer depths.

In other words... incense from several angles - peppery at first, then powdery, leathery and warmly resinous. A perfume for getting close to the material rather than softening it into the background.
