Description
Frankincense Carterii Essential Oil. Artisan distilled in-house.
This is a lovely Sweet and citrusy Frankincense essential oil that has had a few weeks to air and mature.
Harvested in the North Eastern Bari area of Somalia, it is believed that the position of these trees in relation to the mountains and the Indian Ocean contributes to the resin’s unique scent.
It smells sweet of honey and amber with soft citrus notes. it has a delicate aura of Balsam Fir, (Christmas trees), rounding out the fragrance perfectly.
The aroma of both the essential oil and hydrosol is a lovely soft Amber/Honey with delicate hints of spice. It lacks the sharp edge one usually finds in commercial distillations of Frankincense Carterii. It is both relaxing and stimulating at the same time and a perfect product for aromatherapy, facial toners and other products.
This is a PURE & UNADULTERATED hydro distilled essential oil distilled by me in small batches. Nothing is added to it and nothing was taken from it.
Frankincense has been in the news regularly the past few years, due to the Boswellic acids found in the heavy resin portion of this oleo gum resin. Studies have shown these resin compounds cause apoptosis in various types of cancer cells without harming healthy cells. This is one of 3 types of Frankincense that are known to contain these compounds. The essential oils, however, can only contain trace amounts of Boswellic acids.
If you would like to utilize the Boswellic acids for their health benefits, please see my resin extracts and Oleo extracts/infusions which all contain Boswellic acids and other therapeutic compounds not found in the essential oil of Frankincense.
For recipes, instructions and more information about the fragrant and therapeutic compounds found in the different types of Frankincense, Myrrh and other oleoresins, please visit my blog at http://fairtradefrankincense.com or http://apothecarysgarden.com.

It's ok because the size of half of my pinkey finger and no label that shows which oil it is. Disappointed of receiving something so tiny like this, what can i do with it? It was a sample i just ordered. Those little sample perfumes you get in a magazine or something.

Totally stunned and exceedingly pleased at how amazing this oil smells! It is by far the best Carterii oil you'll ever have the pleasure to experience. It has that classic Carterii scent with an added oomph of juicy spicy goodness. Very true to the fresh resin scent, but magnified and enhanced tenfold. I was totally pleasantly surprised at how addictively delicious this oil is…I couldn't stop sticking my nose right up against the diffuser, haha! At this price point, every Frankincense lover one should own a bottle or two. Thank you, Dan, for coaxing this rarity into existence!
