FrankINCENSE IS A PRECIOUS RESIN that was historically valued as much as or more than gold, used for millennia in perfumes, medicine, and religious practices. It HAS BEEN USED IN TEMPLES AND PALACES SINCE ANCIENT TIMES, WHERE KINGS AND PRIESTS BURNT IT DURING CEREMONIES. The SMOKE of frankincense is CONSIDERED A BRIDGE BETWEEN THE MATERIAL AND SPIRITUAL WORLDS. IN SACRED PRACTICES, it SYMBOLIZES PURIFICATION, SACRIFICE, AND THE PRESENCE OF THE spirit. the Aromatic profile is WARM, RESINOUS BOUQUET with primarily woody, earthy, and balsamic, with bright top notes of citrus (lemon/orange peel) and pine, a warm, spicy heart. sweet, grounding base notes, often described as clean and ancient. OUR INCENSE IS OF THE HIGHEST CLASS A (PREMIUM INCENSE WITH NATURAL OILS) AND IS PRODUCED IN GREECE Where THE RAW FRANKINCENSE RESIN is blended with essential oils to create distinct, aromatic blends.
WE RECOMMEND USING An incense burner. You can also burn frankincense resin on a piece of charcoal disk — light it with tongs until it sparks and glows, then place it in a heat-proof bowl filled with sand. Once the charcoal is covered in white ash, place small pieces of resin on top (1-3 pieces for indoors), allowing them to melt and release aromatic smoke. THIS ENSURES THE AROMA DISTRIBUTES SLOWLY AND REMAINS SWEET AND GENTLE. IT IS IMPORTANT TO HEAT THE RESIN GRADUALLY, AVOIDING AN OPEN FLAME. USE A stable SURFACE and put the incense burner AWAY FROM CLOTHES, PAPER AND OTHER FLAMMABLE ITEMS. DO NOT LEAVE INCENSE UNATTENDED DURING BURNING AND MAKE SURE THE AREA IS VENTILATED TO KEEP THE SCENT CLEAN AND SOFT. KEEP INCENSE OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN AND ANIMALS. AFTER FINISHING, MAKE SURE THAT INCENSE AND COALS ARE COMPLETELY EXTINGUISHED.
An acidic or slightly sour smell in frankincense is considered to be normal, often stemming from its natural chemical composition. The characteristic aroma of high-quality frankincense is caused by trace amounts olibanic acids. These specific compounds create the "churchlike" smell, which is often interpreted as slightly sharp, acidic, or lemony, particularly in top notes. Frankincense often contains high amounts of alpha-pinene, which can contribute a piney, and sometimes biting or acidic scent.IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT WHILE THE ACIDITY IN THE PROFILE IS NORMAL, IT CAN BE ADJUSTED BY NOT ALLOWING OVERHEATING. IF YOU ARE BURNING THE RESIN, USING A COAL THAT IS TOO HOT CAN BURN THE RESIN QUICKLY, LEADING TO A HARSH, ACIDIC, OR ACRID SCENT RATHER THAN A SMOOTH and SWEET ONE.
