Frederic Gieselbach came to niche fragrances as a collector and now makes them by hand in Germany as Nebiru Parfvms, filling and closing every bottle. Gieselbach's father loved drugstore fragrances and followed the son deeper in, and without words the two shared something essential. Then came the sudden loss of the father. Gieselbach asked how to get closer, and the answer became the house's name: Nebiru, in Babylonian mythology the threshold between worlds, the point of connection.
Nebiru releases are built from raw materials Gieselbach finds. The eaglewood comes from South East Asia; essences come from jungle islands, other materials from the Arab and Asian regions. Gieselbach buys roots, resins and woods, never ready-made blends. The releases have edges and depth, and none of them is smooth. Each small batch is mixed by hand and filtered, then brought to maturity.
