Frankincense is a rejuvenating essential oil, which is uplifting to the senses. Frankincense is thought to deepen spiritual contact, deepen the breath and expand the mind. 

Frankincense trees are native to the Red Sea region and grow wild throughout North East Africa. The use of Frankincense has been recorded since Ancient Egypt. Frankincense oil has been used historically in skincare and as incense (for spiritual purposes) in China, India and the West.

Most distillation is carried out in Europe from the imported resin.

Frankincense essential oil is overall a middle note and blends well with citrus and spice oils, other woods and florals.
