Civet Paste
Jake S. (Newport News, US)
Civet Dream Come True

This 2025 Civet Paste from ApoGarden DOES NOT DISAPPOINT IN QUALITY!!

It’s mothball effect, like a Garage/Old study on steroids. Perfect for exhausting any natural perfume for Jasmines, Ylang that sort of thing. Oh especially Red Champaka!

Thank you ApothecaryGarden, please continue to support the Civet Farmers. I know how you guys work to make this Civet dream come true 🥹

Potent

Very potent and smells therapeutic.

Nice aroma

I enjoyed the smell of the Frankincense Royal Green Hojari Resin Extract. It goes well with olive oil.

Dragon's Blood tree Seeds
Don Kerr (Montreal, CA)
Success -- baby dragons!!

Seedlings emerged about 21 days after sowing (in sandy, loose potting mix). These 3 seedlings are 3 weeks old now, and I'm very pleased to be cultivating this species now - as it affords me an opportunity to deepen my connection with this infamous plant and its resin. Thanks Dan!

Tonka Beans
Lisa D. (Coventry, US)
Wonderful beans

These tonka beans are generously sized, super fragrant, and a great value. The pouch contains a good number of beans, enough for many months of baking. Will definitely buy again.

Serum-G, A nighttime serum
Emma (Los Angeles, US)
Wonderful

I love this serum so much I bought two more right away so I don't run out. I actually use it in the daytime and my skin feels great. I have sensitive combination skin, so finding the just right spot is a challenge, this serum is working great for me.

Serum-G, A nighttime serum
Jennifer Flocks (Waxahachie, US)
A must have!

My skin feels and looks great after using
This product. Everyone needs this in their house!

Like a small jar of pure healing.

I don’t usually write reviews, but this product absolutely blew me away. This balm feels like ancient medicine reborn. From the moment I tried it, I could tell it was made with quality and care. The scent is grounding and pure. I Highly recommend!

H
Musk Animalic Collection
Holly Frey (Ypsilanti, US)
Amazing!!!!

Civet - smells at first of straight literal fecal matter, not fresh or rancid but unmistakable as excrement. Then it leans more animalistic and musky but still stool like, like a dog that rolled around in its own poop. It's dry down is like a farm or state park fair grounds animal showing section. It's dirty hay, a dirty rodent cage. Raw ground beef, again not rancid or sour, just raw. The smell of a leather saddle after a hard ride, leathery with sweat and animal. Also, in a vague but compelling way, exactly how I remember Axe body spray smelling in middle school.

Castorleum may be the more pure animalistic scent you're looking for. It's loud and spicy with a fading warmth. It smells like the feel of a light sunburn or having sex with lightning. It's acidic but also salty and sweet. It makes even super clean scents a little spicy and sluty. It's what everyone wants vanilla to do to a scent.

Muskrat musk is a floral musk. It's an odd dance. Even undiluted, it smells like a possible stand along fragrance. It is the most similar to ambergris in the way it can clean up a scent but more floral and less depth.

Alone Propolis smells like the first sip of a very dark beer, metallic and bloody. But added into a scent, it brings a more immediate musk than anything else I've tried. It's cold and harsh. Very similar to anise.

Hyraceum is a stale and musty sharpness. A long, closed cedar attic. A leftover bonfire smell. Rotting wood after a heavy morning dew on a forest floor. The smell of being in a big cardboard box. Vaguely similar to Home Depot and Lowes' smell.

Soft

True with a mild rose

Always the best

Lovely!!!

Frankincense Dalzielii Oleo extract
Vienna (Charlotte, US)

Love the product! I use it mostly for my acne-prone skin. It helps with calming inflammation, reducing redness, and promoting healing. I’ve noticed my skin feels much healthier.

Frankincense Rivae Absolute
Amber Maynard (New York, US)
Great Product

I am new to the world of Frankincense, so this has been an experiment for me. I am very pleased with this purchase. The website is extremely informative and the shipping is crazy fast. I cannot get items shipped to me in my own state as fast as this came from Canada. I have made additional purchases since this purchase and will continue to be a customer.

Absolutely Wonderful! I am one of your customers on Etsy.com. This is my first order from your website. I have liked your products for a few years. Thank you for providing us with special items.

Ambergris Oil
Nick Grossenbacher (Sebastopol, US)
Best anywhere

I’ve been buying my ambergris (et al) from Dan for years, and I wouldn’t get it anywhere else. Best stuff in the world. He’s the master at what he does.

Royal Green Hojari

The frankincense was nicely packaged and contained a generous amount. The tears were fresh, very green in color, and were comprised of mostly large, well-formed tears. Beautiful scent when burned and lovely flavor when chewed. Thank you for providing such a high quality product!

Myrrh Yemen-RARE!
Giovanni (Indio, US)

What a beauty! It has all the best features of suhul myrrh with a dash of spiciness and the expected bitterness myrrh has, all well balanced!

Jennifer picked out the perfect bag for me, very nice resin chunks and each one is wonderful and unique. Highly recommended!

Much love ❤️

Norway Spruce Resin

Fresh,Woody and Inspiring

I love this resin smoke! Used in my practice for elemental connection and shamanic journeying. Lingering after smell lasts for days, like being in a cabin in the woods 200 years ago!

Madagascar Elemi resin
Jennifer P. (Port Alberni, CA)
Absolute favourite!

This potent resin packs a punch on the coal! Smells fresh and uplifting as well as grounding. Amazing clearing properties!

Glorious as incense.

The scent is very fresh and powerful, lasts a very long time as well in an electric incense heater. Goes great with frankincense.
