Warm & Spicy, Woody Aroma: Our Frankincense Essential Oil has a deeply warm, spicy, and woody scent with a hauntingly rich fragrance. Its earthy and grounding aroma offers a profound sense of calm and peace, making it ideal for meditation, relaxation, and enhancing the atmosphere of your space.

Rich, Authentic Scent: Frankincense is known for its sacred and timeless fragrance. Derived from the resin of a hardy tree native to the Middle East, this oil has been prized for thousands of years. Its unique, resinous scent makes it a perfect addition to self-care rituals, offering both a spiritual and calming effect.

The Frankincense Tree: Frankincense originates from a small, scraggly tree with abundant pinnacle leaves and delicate white or pale pink flowers. The tree produces a milky-white sap, which, once dried, is collected and distilled into the precious essential oil we offer. The resin, known as olibanum (from the Arabic al-luban, meaning 'that which results from milking'), has been used in incense for millennia and was highly regarded in ancient Egypt and religious practices, including the holy oil described in the Talmud.

A Rich History: Frankincense has been traded for over 5,000 years and was even brought back to Europe by Frankish Crusaders, lending its name to “Frank-incense.” Today, it continues to be highly prized in the perfume industry and widely used in skincare for its rejuvenating and healing properties.

Spicy & Citrusy: Frankincense carries subtle spicy undertones, combined with faint citrusy hints that add complexity and brightness to its warm, resinous scent.
