Being certain of Dan's quality, I got a 5oz spray bottle. I still have 1/2 a bag of the rosebuds I bought from Dan a few years ago. But I do not know how to make a distillation like Dan so aptly does. This is some glorious rosewater. I use the Garden's incense nightly indoors on a few warmers and burners. Great Solstice to all at the Garden. Thanks
Some delectable notes with this one; perfectly described above. I am finding it pairs beautifully with the soft honey of Mexican Copal.
im enjoying going through all the frankincense oleo extracts on offer here at this shop, they are always very high quality.
Great Stuff! Just as pictured.
A+
I have been using Bushman's lip balm for - well maybe since Dan first offered it? I really love it, especially this time of year when my lips chap so very much.
Excellent Quality frankincense every time. Highly recommend.
This is an excellent quality frankincense. I have purchased it several times and it is always very fresh. It makes a perfect frankincense tea.
My sister loves this serum and requests it every year for her birthday since we've discovered AG. It goes on almost like a dry oil and lasts throughout the day. A drop or two goes a long way so you don't need a lot.
I have been using Abyssinian for at least 12 years. Have never found anything better.
As mentioned in another comment, I got sent a bottle of this oil by accident, and got to keep it free of charge thanks to the team. It is a very good representation of the more resinous type of Frankincense oil, less smokey and overtly-animalic, with beautiful terpenic notes hiding behind fruity orangey notes of profound depth. A cozy, sweet frankincense with an almost gourmand quality to it, very approachable and less powerful in terms of that uplifting effect, suitable for those who really love the aroma but don't want such a powerful "kick". As it dries down, fascinating warm spice notes develop, and while the top notes are not as powerful, I was really surprised by just how long the base notes lingered on this one. I could clearly smell spiced orange jam on the paper strip the next day, something that I've never experienced with the fleeting Frankincense oil. Warmly recommended!
High quality resin EOs are hard to find, and for my purpose, which is making 100% natural perfume, compromising on quality means an inferior product, it's that simple. This Carterii is a great representation of that "staple" frankincense scent profile, with the added bonus of some nice individual characteristics. It has all the bright lemony top notes together with a very potent smokey note that conjures the fumes coming from a censer, rather than "just" the resinous aromas. There's also a strong animalic presence, that, combined with just a bit of Hyraceum tincture in one of my perfumes created an incense note that could cut steel. A lot of depth and crazy power in this one, and of course, its aroma is perfectly mirrored in the potency of its therapeutic effects. I am not exaggerating - when I first opened the bottle, put some on my paper strip and smelled it, my spirit was almost instantaneously lifted so high I just closed my eyes and descended into a spontaneous 40-minute meditation. This was my first purchase from Dan and it blew all other frankincense samples from various sellers out of the water, by a long shot. Also, due to a blunder, I initially received the Sacra EO and after contacting customer support, initially got sent the correct bottle, on the house. Much appreciated, and the bottle of Sacra further solidified my opinion of the supremacy of Dan's oils - it is equally superb, but of course a completely different profile of Frankincense, with all those deep, watery, spices and orangey resinous notes. All I can say is Dan is indeed the man!
This one means business. Potent and elevating. Like being in an ancient forest.
I am a 51 years old, with sensitive/acne prone skin, and I have been using this oil for over a month now. I get so many compliments on my skin. The oil is easy to absorb in my skin and leaves it feeling soft and with a light "glow".
I'm in love with this Dragon's Blood Resin! It is top quality and smells amazing. I'm excited to try it in an incense blend.
My first visit to The Apothecary's Garden . . . I will be back and back and back.
The products I've received have all been A+
What's offered is unique & genuine, not to mention readily shipped. I enjoy reading Dan's blogs to inform consumers about the origin, history of and uses for the unusual varieties.
I've ordered for about 4 yrs and never had a complaint
I love every product from Dan , he has helped me understand how this can help with the problems I'm going through with his blogs . Thank you Dan and I love this in so many ways.
BC reminds me of something ancient and woody. It’s so beautiful even by itself as an Amber. I like that this is offered pre-ground too. I also received an extra goody due to something from the last order I had (wanted more clear resin as shown by the photos for the product) and I was generously provided with a great amount in this order. Exceptional quality and customer service.
Wore a drop under my chin to experience the scent, very wonderful and exotic. Definitely going to experiment with new perfume ideas. Thank you Dan!!!
I'm in love with this frankincense the smell is just beautiful evrrything is perfect ❤️
Nothing from this store I'm not in love with evrrything is just beautiful and perfect. Thank you Dan
