Always love my orders from Apothecary's Garden, and this Frankincense powder is no exception.
Myrrh is difficult for me to experience. I really need to smell it by itself first to understand it, but the quandary is that it's easier to smell when you mix it with other things. Not the case with this myrrh. You can smell it all very easily and even though it's richer and complex, it seems like it's helping me smell things in common Myrrh I didn't notice before.
This is a delightful incense. Exactly as described, like a warmer version of the Siam with baked goods and cinnamon. It feels like it goes with anything and everything.
Such a beautiful product. Quality is amazing
Unfortunately I never received it. And got not response when I asked for a refund
Hi Amina: According to the tracking it was delivered Aug 28. We have not received any email or msg from you before this review. Happy to refund or reship. Let us know. Thanks. Faye
Smells like what every crystal shop I've ever visited smells like right when you walk in.
This barely melts so grind it finely or mix it with something that melts better. It smells very umami on low to start. Fish sauce and parmesan. As it warms it starts to smell more intense and complex, like food cooking; hard to pinpoint any one smell but it all blends deliciously. Oregano and perfume as it goes on. Pizza myrrh! Warmer still and it starts to smell like caramel cooking just a little bit too quickly, or like a toasted marshmallow with a touch of black. Do not burn it on coals or it's going to be more like a very burnt caramel on a smouldering leaf pile. As it goes on past the spicy notes it's equal parts sweet and carbon before surrendering to smoky waftings.
Never received my purchase! Seller gave me an excuse that it must be stuck in customs! I wanted some more time and ask again, where it was now! No response!
Hi Peter. As stated in my earlier email, we have no control over US customs and how fast they clear it. We have refunded your purchase.
Top quality product, fast shipping, great packaging. Highly recommend.
If it is calling to you to acquire this set, please do it. For more than 2 years I hummed and hawed and came up with the silliest reasons not to make the purchase, and when I finally did, I couldn’t believe I deprived myself of such delights for so, so long.
Each one of these has touched my soul in ways that cannot be put into words - which is precisely what high-quality perfumes should do, in my humbled opinion.
These are true, cherished masterpieces in my collection of perfumery materials now. They are so precious I hardly wish to touch them, but I can’t help from saturating my entire being with their essence and beauty at times.
The only problem I have now is that I must wait for another payday and have to decide which are my absolute favourites in order to place another order, as I will need more than the sample sizes in order to create the masterpieces that are waiting in the depths of memory, and are gently calling to burst forth into creation.
Thank you Dan.
I bought this after coming back from Portugal. I actually have a little dried branch of Cistus Ladanifer here. It smells exactly like it, although the Labdanum is more concentrated and more resinous. But very nice.
Absolutely beautiful
Dan products are so pure the quality is above and beyond service is so quick to England
Thank you so much, Dan! The Sultan Hajari is absolutely magnificent."
Maria Callas was glorified with the name La Divina. It would also be a fitting name for this superlative oil.
The myrrh powder was as advertised. It arrived quickly. I used it to make a linament solution with goldenseal and cayenne powder. Used it today with great results. Thank you for your shop and your expertise!
