About this product


Some scents arrive a little sharp and then soften into something lovely. Indian frankincense is one of them: a complex aroma with a beautiful dry-down in a blend. It is the traditional frankincense of Ayurvedic medicine, distilled in India from wildcrafted Boswellia serrata resin.

It is very different in aroma from the more widely available Boswellia carterii: lighter, and much more a middle or heart note than a base note. Think of it as a glorious bridge, carrying the lighter florals and citrus of a blend down to a deep, anchoring scent.

Details

  • Botanical name: Boswellia serrata
  • Origin: India, wildcrafted
  • Method: distilled from resin
  • Note: middle, or heart
  • Shelf life: about 2 to 3 years after opening

How to use

Place it in the heart of a blend, between citrus or floral top notes and a deep base. There are no known contraindications; avoid oxidation by storing it in the dark, refrigerated if you can, and decanting half-full bottles into smaller, full ones.

An old frankincense with a lighter step, for the blends that need a bridge.
