The very best benzoin you will EVER put your nose on. That's it. I keep coming back to Dan's shop over and over again because of the extreme quality of what he sells and however I use to bother him with so many questions, I did not leave a review until now, but this product forced me to do it. I bought this Siam benzoin with ultra high expectations, influenced by the high price tag and Dan's ambitious description of the product. However, Dan didn't lie even a little bit. If you like the vanillic, intoxicating smell and fixating power of the Siam benzoin, this is TOP NOTCH quality. It astonished me. I have tried Siam benzoin from other sources, but this one plays in another league. Totally worth every penny. I'm just sad I did not buy a larger amount. One of the TOP PRODUCTS IN ALL THE SHOP. The problem is that now I do not want to run out of it.
I have not been disappointed with any purchase and this is no different! Grateful to have a supplier that I can consistently depend on.
Thanks y'all!
To make it simple :) I made some delicious gum with it, and honestly wish I could buy all the remaining resin you have! :] Happy Holidays!
You know it’s amazing when you can smell it in your mailbox before you even open the package. Second time I’ve ordered. I will be a repeat customer as long as it’s available. Extremely high quality which reflects the fact that it’s ethically sourced and distilled.
I have been purchasing products from Mr. Dan for many years. Every single product is spectacular! I have incorporated the products into salves, serums and incense! They are the highest quality products I have found! Dan himself also is a wealth of knowledge and the product seen on his site are an extension of Dan’s wisdom, love for trees and nature, and wealth of knowledge! I highly recommend Dan and his products!
A very clean Palo Santo that wipes out negitivity, clears and cleans the mind. Big fan,
This is green gold. Very regal and elegant.
It seems whatever Dan's hands touch turns to gold. A wonderful capture of the mastic soul with a clarifying optimistic effect.
This may be my favorite resin. I discovered it on this website. It’s truly delightful. I make handcrafted incense and am familiar with many different kinds of resins, and this is by far one of my Top Three. Wonderfully fragrant!
I have used this Frankincense Rejuvenative cream for years now. My skin loves it! It will always be part of my skincare routine. To me, it’s notable that the whole resin is used, instead of frankincense essential oil for example. Dan’s commitment to sustainability and local commerce -particularly his support of female entrepreneurs - makes Apothecary’s Garden my main source of resins. Thanks, Dan!
The frankincense from the Apothecary Garden is sublime. It has a beautiful, rich, and clean scent, exactly what I was hoping for. The quality really sets it apart. Furthermore, the customer service I received from Dan was exceptional. He was helpful, friendly, and truly provided a great experience. I definitely be a returning customer. Thank you
Smells beautiful. Works amazing as a makeup setting spray or toner.
Arguably a very difficult material to work with, but wonderfully unique. Boozy is an understatement for this specific propolis offering. There are other notes, but for creative purposes, what this tincture offers is the richness of an expensive rum minus everything else. That can be very off-putting in isolation or in excess, but complements a variety of materials across the categories exceptionally well.
There isn’t really another synthesised or natural-extracted material that offers just “boozy richness” without the booze, so I’d say this an essential material to have if you’re aiming to develop a unique/ultra-specific identity as an artist.
This resin is worth the wait! I'd like to thank Dan for this product and his excellent service. Siam Benzoin has a wonderful aroma with vanilla, caramel, and a touch of milk. Smelling its sweet aroma definitely brings joy and peace!
This is so beautiful. I hold a women’s circle every week and we crave the smell of those Uunsi. Thank you for carrying it
I asked for powder Frankincense and received resin stones of Sacra...I won't be back .
I have been keeping my body healthy with the help of many of Dan's fruits of his labor. I believe in Boswellia for so many reasons and in all of its forms. This tincture is especially helpful for the inflammation that creeps into my body from my fibromyalgia. Not to mention its studied upon and resultant scientific findings of its ability to help our bodies destroy cancer cells. I use it everyday in my water. 75 years old, and I believe my good health can be attributed to many of the products found here. I truly do recommend it!
I am a repeat customer, again and again for many ingredients. I appreciate that there is an obvious quality in processing that is somehow simply felt prior to experiencing.
He alchemizes these in a way that it stands out from every product. There is no comparison. The ingredients are rare themselves along with the way he makes the products.
This Frankincense Dalzielii is very good quality at a reasonable price. We are very happy with our purchase. Will order again! Thank You Dan!
Papyrifera creates a very relaxing atmosphere with its citrusy effervescent like notes. When you smell it in the incense burner, it instantly brightens your mood within minutes.
A deeply calming beauty!
I am very happy with this purchase. High quality ingredients, aroma is very pleasing, fast shipping. This is my second purchase from this company, I am definitely coming back for more.
I love this resin immensely. In its more raw and unfiltered state it comes in many colors and thus its scent evolves over burning it, from warm and sugary to spicy to fresh spruce forest. It’s a favorite in the incense I make. The quality and attention to detail here really can’t go without mentioning!
Apothecary's Garden is an amazing company and Dan is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I am a novice to making my own incense. I live chatted with Dan and he gave me suggestions of how to get started. Again, I am a novice, but the Frankincense Carterii Powder seems fresh and pure!
