Bushman Candle Oleoresin (Sarcocaulon Mossamedense) is unique. You will only find it in Namibia, more precisely in the Kaokoland desert where only the Himbas tribes are allowed to source it. Its fragrance is as amazing as captivating, and it will charm you with its benzoin and vanilla notes. A little marvel that goes perfectly with an oriental accord.
In its natural state, it is found as a glowing wax. It protects the Sarcocaulon from the extreme heat of the Namibian summer. The Himbas then harvest it by hand directly from the thorny shrub and sometimes from its base. It is an integral part of the daily life of the tribe who use it as a torch, spice for oryx meat and insect repellent.
Bushman Candle’s oleoresin is rich in coumarin. It would have a positive impact on blood and lymphatic drainage. This results in a nervous and muscular appeasement. Natural moisturizer, it is used in Southern Africa for its regenerating properties.
Among the so-called “balsam” notes, Bushman Candle’s oleoresin has a golden place. Reminiscent firstly of Benzoin of Siam and Armenian paper, it becomes much more floral and refined. The heart is as resinous as waxy, and this honeyed note is adorned with a bewitching woody bark. Remaining of a total delicacy, the bottom embodies more and more the ancestral method of use of this natural “candle”. Smoky accents emanate crescendo, welcoming and luminous.
