Commiphora wildii

The aroma is mysterious, reminiscent of frankincense. Deep, Incensey, Resinous. Much sweeter and than Commiphora myrrha and not sticky and as dense.
From the desert of Namibia, this ancient, precious Myrrh is generously shared with us by the Himba women that have used Commiphora wildii since time immemorial. Holding an archaic soulfulness, this oil is a custodian of traditional knowledge. A knowledge enshrined in the desert’s sand and the stories of the grandmothers. Redolent of the Namibiam Desert, this mesmerizing, intuitive essence, reawakens primordial instinct and earthy connection: ‘through honouring our own body, we honour the earth mother.’
Grounding, earthing, clarifying, this alluring scent invites us to indulge in the daily ritual of cleansing, emptying, and refilling, renewing the soil for the rawest and purest form of ourselves to come alive.

Where it comes from
Its preciousness is given also by its rarity —only a few hundred kilos of th e resin can be produced in a year. The resin is collected by Ovahimba women in the Kunene region of Namibia. The C. wildii trees are not tapped, unlike with most resin collection, but instead the naturally self-exuded resin is collected. This system makes the collection of resin extremely sustainable and non-damaging; resin is gathered from October-November. The resin is steam distilled at the community-owned processing center, allowing the profits of oil sales to benefit the communities.
This unique oil (traditionally used by Ovahimba women for perfume) comes from Scents of Namibia, a community-owned trust whose mission it is to ensure sustainable use of natural products and make sure that harvesters and communities benefit fairly from their commercialization.
