What is frankincense?
Frankincense, also called olibanum, is an aromatic gum resin from Boswellia trees. Its oil can smell fresh, lemony and peppery rather than like burning incense.
Scent & use in perfumery
Adds resinous clarity to woods and florals. An incense note may be an accord rather than a single resin.
