Frankincense

Frankincense is a fragrant resin harvested from certain Boswellia tree species native to the Middle East and Northeast Africa. It has a warm, balsamic, and slightly woody aroma with hints of citrus. Frankincense has been prized for centuries for its use in religious ceremonies, perfumes, and traditional medicines.

Frankincense has a grounding, meditative quality that can evoke a sense of calm and introspection. Fragrances featuring this note are well-suited for relaxation, spiritual practices, and creating a contemplative atmosphere. They can also add an air of sophistication and elegance to a fragrance.

Frankincense is a classic base note in many fragrances, adding depth, warmth, and a sense of spirituality. It is often paired with other resinous notes like myrrh, as well as citrus, floral, and woody accords. Frankincense-based fragrances are commonly found in incense, religious, and oriental-style perfumes.
