Frequently asked questions

Some questions and answers are automatically generated.

How does this scent compare to other frankincense oils?
Reviewers describe Frankincense Sacra as distinctly brighter and more delicate than other frankincense varieties. Several customers note cool, lemon and pine notes with an almost frosty quality, along with honey-sweet undertones and warm spice as it dries down. One experienced collector commented it is less smokey and animal-like than other frankincense oils, making it more approachable for those who love the aroma without an intense 'kick.'
How long does the scent last on skin or paper?
Many reviewers report this oil has exceptional longevity for a frankincense essential oil. One customer noted they could clearly smell spiced orange jam notes on a paper strip the next day—something they had never experienced with other frankincense oils. The fragrance develops warm spice notes as it dries down, with base notes that linger well into the following day.
What are the main scent notes?
The product description notes delicate, dry, honey-sweet aroma with warm amber and soft spice notes, along with signature sweetness and lemon notes. As it dries down, it develops to precious wood, amber, and black pepper. Reviewers frequently mention lemon, pine, fruity orange, and cozy, sweet qualities with an almost gourmand character.
Is this suitable for daily use?
Yes. One customer mentioned they use this oil every day in both skincare and as perfume. Another uses it regularly for a weekly foot massage ritual with their partner, describing hours of enjoyment from a single bottle.
What makes this frankincense different from the Royal Green Hojari?
According to the description, this product is distilled from smaller Silver Hojari tears that were separated by sifting Royal Green Hojari through a 1/4" mesh. A reviewer who directly compared the two oils nostril-by-nostril confirmed there are subtle differences in scent between them, though both are high-quality products from the same shop.
Does this oil contain Boswellic acids?
According to the product description, essential oils can only contain trace amounts of Boswellic acids. If you seek the therapeutic Boswellic acids found in resin studies, the seller offers separate resin extracts and oleo extracts/infusions that contain these compounds in higher concentrations.
Is the oil pure with no additives?
Yes. The product description states this is pure, unadulterated hydro-distilled essential oil with nothing added and nothing removed. Reviewers repeatedly praise the quality and authenticity of oils from this seller, with long-term customers confirming they receive 'the real deal.'
The tears I used were taken from a Royal Green Hojari Frankincense shipment. After sifting the Royal Green Hojari through a 1/4" mesh I was left with smaller tears of light green/ silver Frankincense. I decided to distil these resins separately and do a comparison. Indeed the scent of these two essential oils is distinct. You will find the Royal Green Hojari essential oil here-https://www.etsy.com/listing/693180860/royal-green-hojari-essential-oil-limited

Frankincense Sacra is traditionally used to bring clarity, calm and strength to both heart and mind. It is thought to help with concentration and help ameliorate anxiety and depression.

Frankincense Sacra essential oil is pure, unadulterated hydro-distilled essential oil. 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 have extensive therapeutic properties.  There are 6 types of Frankincense resin that contain Boswellic acids. 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.
