Incense

Incense is a rich, aromatic material derived from various resins, particularly frankincense and myrrh. It has been used for centuries in religious and spiritual practices, creating a distinctive, smoky-sweet scent with deep, balsamic undertones. The resin is typically harvested from trees of the Boswellia genus, native to regions in the Middle East and North Africa.

The scent of incense can evoke feelings of calm, introspection, and spiritual connection. It's often associated with meditation and contemplation, making it suitable for fragrances worn during relaxation or mindfulness practices. Incense-based perfumes are particularly appealing in cooler months or for evening wear, adding an air of sophistication and mystery.

In perfumery, incense is often used as a base note, providing depth and longevity to fragrances. It pairs well with woody, spicy, and resinous notes, and is frequently found in oriental and woody fragrances. Incense is prized for its ability to add a mysterious, meditative quality to scent compositions.
