Tamarind’s Rare Namibian Scent

Although still a new face on the local cosmetic scene, Tamarind Nott is a name that’s going to be remembered. Having launched her range of products at the Namibian Expo in June this year and walking away with N$35 000 to support her endeavour, she is well on her way to becoming a local pioneer.

Tammy uses Namibian myrrh Commiphora wildii essential oils to produce the best-smelling and smoothest textured products out there. Says Tammy: “The story of Himba women and Namibian myrrh was my real inspiration, and this is the core of my business.”

Rare Scents’ 100% natural products are available in Windhoek at the Namibia Craft Centre, SuperSpar, Flowered Earth and African Curiotique. They are also sold at different lodges throughout the country. See www.rarescent.com.na for Tammy’s inspirational story.

Tamarind’s co-winner for the grand prize was Sophia Snyman of Desert Secrets, who was also awarded N$35 000.
