Also referred to as Frankincense Dalzielii Resin Absolute, this is a fragrant pourable, honey-like liquid that contains ALL the fragrant compounds present in Frankincense Dalzielii.
Using only pure alcohol, fresh Frankincense Dalzielii is powdered and immersed in 95% ethanol. It is allowed to macerate at a controlled temperature and stirred daily for a minimum of 8 weeks before it is filtered to separate the odourless water-soluble gum compounds.
The filtered liquid is evaporated gently at room temperature to remove excess alcohol creating a thick aromatic liquid that dissolves readily in alcohol and carrier oils.
Due to its solubility in carrier oils, it makes an ideal ingredient in oil-based and solid perfumes while delivering therapeutic Boswellic acids to medicated oils, salves and cremes.
Frankincense Dalzielii has a sensuous, sweet, citrus, and Amber scent highlighted by notes of mint and camphor.
It acts as a fixative and heart-note in perfume compositions 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.
