Frankincense (olibanum)


An aromatic resin drawn from Boswellia, with a balsamic, fresh, resinous and slightly lemony, smoky scent. Frankincense brings a sacred, airy, soothing dimension to fragrances, often in the heart or base. Spiritual and enveloping, it inspires hotel and spa signature scents seeking a meditative atmosphere, in keeping with the wellness spaces of a palace.
