Indian Frankincense

Indian frankincense, also known as Boswellia serrata, is a tree native to India, which produces a resin renowned for its use in incense and traditional medicine. The scent of Indian frankincense is distinctively rich, woody, and slightly spicy. It carries a subtle citrus-like freshness with warm, balsamic undertones that evoke a sense of calm and spiritual upliftment. This unique aromatic profile makes it a favored ingredient in perfumery and aromatherapy. The resin is tapped from the tree’s bark and then allowed to harden into tears, which can be burned directly or processed into oils or powders. Its soothing aroma is often associated with meditative practices and spiritual ceremonies.
