Nissaba Berbera is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Fabrice Pellegrin and Coralie Spicher. Berbera opens with Pepper, Nutmeg, and Elemi, settles into a heart of Myrrh and Frankincense, and dries down to a base of Incense and Opoponax. Nissaba's Berbera carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

Nissaba Berbera is a quiet, elegant incense for those who like their spirituality without the church. It's a subtle, almost intimate scent that some find utterly gorgeous, while others crave a bit more depth and projection.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

This scent's gentle projection and unburned incense character make it perfect for office or casual wear, as it's unlikely to offend. It's a bit too understated for formal events and entirely unsuitable for sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

About

Berbera opens with a fresh, peppery zing, backed by the warm spice of nutmeg and the resinous touch of elemi. The heart unfolds into a comforting blend of myrrh and frankincense, evoking smouldering woodchips rather than liturgical smoke. The dry down is a smooth, balsamic embrace of incense and opoponax, with a gentle sweetness that prevents it from becoming too stark.
