Frequently asked questions

Some questions and answers are automatically generated.

How does this oil compare to other frankincense oils?
Reviewers consistently note this Royal Green Hojari is distinctly different from standard frankincense oils. One customer who had purchased raw Royal Green Hojari tears separately reported that no other frankincense essential oil they tried came close to matching the scent quality. Many highlight its unique, sweet citrus aroma and describe it as superior to other varieties.
What does the scent smell like?
The oil has a sweet citrus scent with green notes. Reviewers describe it as beautiful, intense, and deeply aromatic. One customer noted it created an immediate positive reaction at first sniff, describing it as 'like a reset.' Many use it for its pleasing fragrance alone.
Is the oil pure and unadulterated?
According to the product description, this is pure Royal Green Hojari essential oil with nothing added and nothing removed. Reviewers affirm its quality and purity, with several noting the high integrity and authenticity of the product.
How do you use this essential oil?
One reviewer mentioned diluting a few drops in jojoba oil and applying it to face and neck as part of a morning skincare routine. The oil is potent and concentrated, so dilution before skin application is appropriate for essential oils.
Is this oil worth the premium price?
Multiple reviewers confirm the premium cost is justified. One customer noted it is the most they have spent on an essential oil but emphasized it is 'not your typical frankincense oil.' Another described it as 'phenomenal quality for the price,' and many call it exceptionally rare and valuable.
Will the green color last?
According to the product description, the green color of Royal Green Hojari essential oil is not permanent, though the sweet aroma is. The color may fade over time, but the scent quality remains.
What makes this frankincense so rare?
The product description explains that mainstream commercial distillers cannot offer this product because they must distill large quantities of plant material at low cost. It takes many kilograms of Royal Green Hojari frankincense to produce a small amount of essential oil, making it extremely exclusive and difficult to source.
Is this suitable for skincare use?
One customer reported using it diluted in jojoba oil as part of a facial skincare routine and described it as 'skin loving.' However, as a concentrated essential oil, it should always be diluted before applying to skin and may not be suitable for all skin types.
Due to the expense and exclusivity of Royal Green Hojari resin, mainstream commercial distillers cannot offer this unique product. They need to distil vast amounts of plant material at a low cost to make a profit; you will not find Royal Green Hojari essential oil on the market.

The resin I used for this distillation was taken from a beautiful shipment of Royal Green Hojari Frankincense. They had lost some of their colour, but not their sweet aroma, so I distilled essential oil from them The colour of these tears is not permanent though their aroma is. 

 Royal Green Hojari Essential oil is pure and unadulterated. Nothing has been added and nothing has been removed.

Traditionally reserved for medicine, high-end incense and tea, these large succulent pieces share a green cast and a delightful sweet citrus scent.

It takes many Kilograms of Frankincense from the Hajar mountain area to collect a handful of the prized "Royal Hojari. It takes many Kilograms of Royal Hojari Frankincense to gather a handful of the coveted green Frankincense tears.

Note- Botanically, Boswellia Sacra from Arabia and Boswellia Carterii from East Africa are considered the same species. However, visually, aromatically and chemically they set themselves apart from each other. For this reason, I distinguish this resin from Oman as Boswellia Sacra and the beautiful Frankincense of Somalia as Boswellia Carterii.

Maria Callas was glorified with the name La Divina. It would also be a fitting name for this superlative oil.

Gold in a bottle

This has to be the most I have ever spent on an essential oil but this is not your typical frankincense oil though. I don't have words to articulate it how precious it is. I use a few drops in jojoba oil and apply it to my face and neck in my morning routine and another oil I purchased for my evening routine. I'm so grateful to have come across Dan's apothecary.

The real thing

I am new to using essential oils, but after purchasing raw royal green hojari frankincense tears from a shop, no essential oil of frankincense came anywhere close to matching the very wonderful scent of this variety. The Apothecary’s Garden essential oil is exactly what it says it is. I will be a repeat customer.
