Description
Black Frankincense Sacra is quite different from the Oman Frankincense we are familiar with. Though it does not rate high in the traditional Omani grading system, (Likely due to the absence of well-defined tears), it is favoured by distillers, perfumers and incense makers for its unique aromatic characteristics and abundance of essential oil which lends it its stickiness and intense aroma.
It conveys these aromatic qualities readily to incense blends, teas, oils, salves, tinctures and cremes.
Sweeter than the Black Frankincense carterii from Somalia, Black Frankincense Sacra has deep notes of amber, wildflower honey, and delicate spices with soft green notes wafting through.
Instead of the lemon top note shared by other types of Omani Frankincense, it has sweet hints of citrus, (Like fresh Tangerines ripening somewhere nearby).
Black Frankincense sacra makes a gorgeous incense on its own or if desired, small pieces can be warmed and rolled between the fingers into balls, blended with essential oils or rolled in fragrant wood powders such as Agarwood and Sandalwood to create unique incense Pastilles.
As many other Frankincense types, it contains Boswellic acids which contribute to its traditional use in cosmetic and therapeutic oils, salves cremes and liniments used for mature skin, joint pain, arthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis.

There are about 18 species of Frankincense in the world. Though not all of them yield resin on a commercial scale, those that do have been used for centuries in incense, perfume and traditional folk medicine in the areas they grow.

If your resin is sticky, it may be difficult to remove it intact from the plastic wrapper. My trick and workaround is to place the bag in the fridge or freezer for 15-30 minutes before attempting to separate it from its package. After chilling, it will detach with ease and without leaving any material stuck to the wrapper.

Similar to green hojari with a clean citrus smell but maybe richer and with more depth actually!

This frankincense smells truly fresh! A mentholated honey with tart citrus notes swirling in fresh spring water. Using monkoh style on low temperatures with a ceramic heater. Feels like medicine for the sinuses, and must surely carry medicinal properties to the respiratory system when used in this fashion. This is gonna be in my top 5 frankincenses for sure. At higher temperatures when this resin lightly smoking, my room smells fresh, cleansed, and frank’d.

The peppery smell of the black frankincense is amazing. The quality is very good. I haven't tried many of the other resins yet, but would definitely order from this shop again. It takes some time to ship from Canada to the US, but it's 100% worth the wait.

Really fantastic. As with everything else in this shop, this is top quality frankincense. Compared to other varieties of frankincense sacra, I would describe the scent as a little spicier. It is clear from the look, the smell, and the stickiness that this is incredibly fresh and of fabulous quality. I love using all the various varieties of frank sacra in my oils, to get all the benefits of this wonderful plant. That includes this, white frankincense sacra, and hojari.
You can rest assured that everything in this shop is top quality. If it is not excellent, it will not be going in this shop. The seller knows his resins and has high standards.
Search out his blog – it's a wealth of info. Shipping is incredibly fast. I will be back again and again.

Ah, beautiful black omani sacra! My order is visually stunning and super fresh. You can just pull apart the tears and see the incredibly fragrant, sticky, gooey interior. Melts into a shimmering pool of resin on the heater…smells like heaven. Thank you for sourcing these incredibly fresh and high quality resins!
