Description
The first thing that strikes one in this batch of Frankincense Serrata essential oil is Amber. Sensuous warm Amber. This Amber does not lead alone, but has a resonant full bodied musk dancing with it.
The spice and Citrus notes one expects from Boswellia Serrata are soft-spoken here. Nutmeg and Black pepper with Pettigrain of Lemon infusing in sweet, fine honey. Whispers of Anise and floral strands of Neroli tie it all together to make this scent almost gourmand and edible.
Frankincense or Boswellia Serrata is used in Perfumery, aromatherapy, incense making and many types of Traditional medicine, especially Ayurveda where it is known as Salai and Shallaki in Sanskrit. In Ayurveda, the whole oleoresin is used to treat arthritis, asthma, inflammations of the joints, gastrointestinal issues, mature skin, and much more. It is thought to aid in meditation, elevate the mood, heighten feelings of spirituality and wellbeing, and is used extensively in local rituals, ceremonies and on holy days.
Boswellia Serrata has been in the spotlight recently for its cancer-killing potential and Boswellic acid content. (Note that Boswellic acid will not be found in the essential oil of any Boswellia species, only in the whole oleo-gum-resin or a solvent extract.)
As all Frankincense types, B. Serrata is ruled Astrologically by the Sun and thus is warming, nourishing and expansive to the mind, heart and spirit. Frankincense Serrata is traditionally believed to increase mental clarity, spirituality and promote a positive attitude and courage in the face of fear.

Deliciously lovely & definitely different from the usual Frankincense Serrata essential oil scent until you reach the base notes (matching what is currently the newest batch of B. serrata resin to my nose & complimenting it completely), but wonderfully lovely both on its own & used in conjunction with other Frankincense species essential oils, citrus scents, & spice scents as well as being more complimentary to some of the more floral scented essential oils & resins than the usual Frankincense Serrata essential oil usually would be. I absolutely love it & will have to get more of this unique scent!

This seller tempted me with a sample of this on a previous order and I had to go for it – sharper and more "piney" than other varieties, this frankincense has a real bite to it. Love it.

Arguably my favorite Frakincense; clean and woody, never cloying. Great for marine accords. Dan always has the best stuff!
