SACRED ETHIOPIAN FRANKINCENSE
BOSWELLIA PAYRIFERA RESIN OIL
ESSENTIAL OIL
Steam-distilled from wild Boswellia papyrifera resin collected in Ethiopia’s Tigray highlands, this rare frankincense essential oil expresses a bright ester-led signature dominated by octyl acetate, with monoterpenes, incensyl acetate and resinous diterpenes. Its profile combines fresh fruity top notes, woody floral heart notes and a balsamic, long-lasting base. The unusual presence of boswellic acids reinforces its distinctive positioning for high-end fragrance, skincare and aromatherapy concepts rooted in sacred Ethiopian incense heritage and selective wild sourcing systems.
