Perfume For Any Occasion
Like the Himba people, we make use of Omumbiri’s fresh and uplifting nature. The golden resin is sustainably harvested as the plant exudes it naturally and forms a key ingredient in our unisex fragrance.
The Nile Valley
Perfume’s rich history dates back thousands of years, and Africa has long been the source of many exceptional ingredients. The Nile Valley produces Frankincense, Opoponax, Myrrh, Sandalwood and more. Across Africa, from Morocco to the Comoros, Lagos to Cape Town, farmers plant and tend to herbs, flowers, and trees famed for their scents.
Omumbiri
Commiphora Wildii
The Boldly Incense Resin
A Deep, Resinous with rich butter and licorice notes.
Why it's special:
This unique oil is traditionally used by Ovahimba women for perfume. The resin is steam distilled at the community-owned processing center, allowing the profits of oil sales to benefit the communities.
Boswellia Carterii
Frankincense
Fresh, Floral, Piney with Citrus Top Notes
Classic Frankincense with Traceability to the trees themselves.
Why its special:
It is one of the best known types of Frankincense, authentic B. Carteri oil comes only from Somaliland and Puntland. These trees grow from sea level and are known for growing straight out of limestone or volcanic rocks
Mopane
Colophospermum
Deep, Woody - Oriental, Cedarwood notes and a hint of spiciness.
A spruce, cedarwood, and spice notes.
Why its special:
The oil is quite unlike anything else on the market, a deep and well rounded scent, particularly used for perfumes. The trees are wide - spread in Southern Africa and particularly in Northern Namibia.
Boswellia Sacra
Colophospermum
The Sacred Frankincense
Warm, Fresh, Resinous with Woody Peppery.
Why its special:
It's a distinct essential oil and one of the best quality Frankincense. It grows on limestones or volcanic rocks in arid valleys and on cliffs near the sea, in Oman and Yemen. You can immediately sense the scent, from the bright, citrusy top notes, to the resinous heart notes, to the deep, broad, yet surprisingly gentle base notes.
Boswellia Rivae
Frankincense
A hint of sweetness
Powerfully Resinous, Dark intense with a touch of Rounded Sweetness.
Why it's special:
This oil is a powerful asset to the perfumer's toolkit. It's known for its intensely woody, balsamic and dark notes. The trees grow in Ethiopia, Somalia and Kenya
