What you need with it
What it is
An essential oil is the scent of a plant, distilled or pressed into a few drops. A few drops in a diffuser or burner scent a room; for skin or bath it always goes into a carrier oil first.
Why people choose it
- The scent of the plant itself Pressed or distilled from the flower, leaf, peel or resin, so it smells of the plant, not of a perfume.
- One bottle, many uses A diffuser, a burner, a warm bath with a carrier oil, a drop on a pillow at night.
- A few drops at a time A diffuser takes three to five drops, so one small bottle lasts many evenings.
- Made to be blended Most oils sit well together: lavender with cedarwood, citrus with mint, rose with sandalwood.

About this product
The scent of frankincense resin
- The first impression is clear and resinous, with a dry warmth that feels steady rather than sweet.
- In a diffuser, the aroma gives a room a hushed, contemplative edge, like incense without visible smoke.
- It sits well in evening routines, meditation spaces and quiet corners where scent marks a change of pace.
- For blending, frankincense is often valued as a grounding resin note alongside woods, citruses and florals.
- The character is naturally deep and lingering, so a small amount is usually enough for aromatic use.
From Boswellia resin to pure oil
This pure frankincense essential oil comes from the resin of the Boswellia carterii tree. The resin is steam distilled, a method that carries the aromatic compounds into vapour before condensing them back into essential oil.
The plant part used is resin, which gives frankincense its distinctive dry, balsamic character. Its source country is Somalia, a region closely associated with Boswellia trees and the long history of resin trade.
Frankincense through history
Frankincense, also known as olibanum, has been used as incense for centuries and is closely linked with sacred atmosphere, ceremony and contemplative practice. In Ancient Egypt, frankincense was burned as holy incense, and burnt resin was ground into kohl for the eyes, a look often seen in Egyptian art. One early record appears in an inscription connected with Queen Hatshepsut in the 15th century BC. Today, the scent still carries that sense of ritual, used less as spectacle and more as a quiet marker of attention.
How to use it safely
Add a small amount to a diffuser or oil burner according to your device instructions. For use on skin, dilute well in a suitable carrier oil first and patch test before wider use.
Do not use essential oils undiluted on the skin. Avoid during pregnancy, and seek professional guidance before use around children, pets or anyone with particular sensitivities. Store closed, upright and away from heat and direct light.
