Description
Also referred to as a Resin Absolute, this is a fragrant pourable, honey-like liquid that contains all the aroma and therapeutic compounds present in Frankincense Sacra, Royal green Hojari, ie, both the essential oils and the aromatic resin, which contains the Boswellic acids.
It has a broader fragrance profile than the essential oil alone and dissolves easily in alcohol and carrier oils.
A dab of this absolute, blended with a few drops of carrier oil, unlocks its fragrance and creates a lovely oil-based perfume for personal wear. This simple combination makes a quick and easy “On the run” personal perfume.
The possibilities for formulating with this product are endless!
This versatility makes it ideal for preparing both alcohol and oil-based perfumes, as well as therapeutic and cosmetic products that benefit from the action of the Boswellic acids.
Royal Green Hojari resin absolute can be dissolved in alcohol and blended into incense blends, providing a sweet, clean, burning aroma profile with no charring as is found when using the whole Frankincense oleo gum resin.
It is produced using food-grade alcohol alone. No harsh chemical solvents were used in the extraction process.
After macerating at a controlled temperature for 6 weeks, it is filtered to remove all solids, such as gum and bark. I then evaporate the liquid gently in a vacuum at a low temperature to remove excess alcohol while retaining all the aromatic compounds.
It contains the whole spectrum of the sweet Royal Green Hojari aroma, which is broader, deeper and richer than that of the essential oil.
It acts as a fixative and heart note in perfume compositions and formulations, anchoring more fleeting and volatile scents and is useful in incense-making as a binder and an aromatic ingredient since it burns clean and sweet.
