Discover the sacred, resinous depth of pure Frankincense Essential Oil, steam distilled from the resin of Boswellia Carterii sourced from Oman — one of the most historically significant and revered sources of Frankincense in the world. Warm, balsamic and deeply complex — with a rich, resinous sweetness, a subtle citrus brightness and a soft, woody depth — Frankincense, also known as Olibanum, is one of the most ancient, revered and spiritually significant botanicals in human history.

Its name derives from the Old French 'franc', meaning luxuriant or pure, and along with Myrrh it holds the distinction of being one of the first botanical resins ever used as sacred incense. The Boswellia tree is indigenous to the arid landscapes of the Middle East, where it grows in a natural bonsai-like formation in some of the world's most parched and inhospitable terrain — a testament to its extraordinary resilience and rarity. Oman sits at the very heart of the ancient Frankincense trade, and Omani Frankincense is widely regarded as among the finest and most precious in the world.

The ancient Egyptians burned Frankincense as holy incense, used it in sacred rituals and ground the burnt resin into a powder called kohl — the iconic dark eye pigment seen throughout Egyptian art. The earliest recorded use of Frankincense dates to a tomb inscription of the 15th century BC Egyptian queen Hatshepsut. It was offered to gods, used to fumigate the sick and carried along the ancient incense trade routes that shaped the ancient world. Frankincense is said to symbolise divinity itself.
