How far will Berbera take you? Its resinous trail is mysterious and intense. Follow her into the desert, on a rocky path lined with thorny shrubs. The collectors made incisions in the logs. Pearls of sacred sap flow from the aromatic bark and harden into resin. Here in Somalia, frankincense, myrrh and opoponax have been harvested for thousands of years. Their mineral, spicy and woody character elevates and purifies the spirit. Fabrice Pellegrin and Coralie Spicher have composed a rich and sophisticated fragrance to honor Somali pickers who have been collecting resins for generations. With the BEBERA fragrance, Nissaba showcases the Horn of Africa through its iconic ingredients: frankincense, myrrh and opoponax gum. Berbera is Somaliland’s main port, connecting the Somali desert to the outside world. It’s a place filled with two primary colors: the deep blue of the ocean and the sandy tones of the incessant winds and storms that blow across the country. The entire harvest of these gums ends up in the port city of Berbera, from where they leave for extraction, and then finally reach the laboratories of the big perfume houses, in Paris, Grasse or New York.
