Frequently asked questions

Some questions and answers are automatically generated.

How does the scent differ from Socotra Dragon's Blood?
Many reviewers who use both varieties note this Yunnan resin has sweeter, warmer notes with fruity or honeyed undertones, while the Socotra version is sharper and more intense. One experienced customer describes them as complementary—one "male and one female" energetically—and uses both together for depth of character.
Does it have a noticeable scent before burning?
Yes. Unlike many resins, multiple reviewers confirm this Dragon's Blood resin has a perceptible aroma in its unburned state, which is unusual and was highlighted as a distinctive feature by the seller.
How does it perform for making Dragon's Blood ink?
Several reviewers report excellent results making ink with this resin—it dissolves well and produces a deep, rich red color. One customer notes it powders easily and can be blended with Virgin Dragon's Blood to adjust the shade.
Is this resin sustainably harvested?
Yes. The product description confirms this Yunnan Dragon's Blood is harvested from tree leaves rather than bark or wood, a sustainable method developed in China that does not harm the tree, unlike the endangered Socotra species.
Does it work well when gently heated rather than burned?
Yes. One customer who was new to Dragon's Blood reported discovering that gently heating it in an aluminum pan produced an exceptional fragrance experience, which they preferred to burning it on charcoal.
Is the color as intense as advertised?
Yes. Reviewers consistently describe the resin as strikingly deep red and beautiful. One notes it breaks into deep red crystal shards, and another praises the "intense" color, confirming the seller's emphasis on its vivid appearance.
What if the scent seems weak when I burn it?
A small number of reviewers (fewer than 10% of reviews) report the scent appeared faint or different than expected when burned, which contrasts sharply with the majority who praise its strong fragrance. Heating method and temperature may affect how the aroma develops.
Can I use this to make infused oils?
Yes. At least one reviewer successfully made infused oil from this resin and used it in a skin treatment salve, indicating it works for oil-based applications.
I walked into our packaging room this morning and was captivated by the beautiful, sweet aroma that filled it.
It opens with rich crimson sweet berry notes on the low-temperature electric burner. Deep, soft and penetrating. As the temperature is raised, the sweet notes yield to this Mars-ruled resin's traditional bite and intensity, similar to its cousin Dracaena cinnabari in Socotra, Yemen.

The colour of this Dragon's Blood resin is INTENSE!! I can't wait to make an ink from it.

I have to point out that unlike its Yemenite cousin, medieval Dragon's Blood, which is a species at risk, Yunnan Dragon's Blood resin is sustainably harvested.

The Chinese have developed methods of harvesting the resin from the tree's leaves instead of the bark and wood. The qualities of the leaf resin are identical to those collected from tapping the tree, and the tree is harmed in no way since the leaves are shed from the tree as its branches grow.
If this system could be replicated on the island of Socotra, we could preserve the Socotran Dragon's blood trees and create a sustainable source for their resin.

Yunnan Dragon's Blood resin dissolves especially well in alcohol.

It creates an exceptional dark red ink with a beautiful fragrance.  Add some Virgin Dragon's Blood to your tincture to create a brighter red colour.


If you are preparing a Dragon's Blood oil, the best material to use is the Virgin Dragons Blood resin, which you will also find in the shop.
