Orthodox Mount Athos incense with Lemon Blossom fragrance
This traditional incense is produced on Mount Athos in Greece. It is made from high-quality frankincense resin from Boswellia papyrifera from Ethiopia, refined with the delicate fragrance of Lemon Blossom. The fresh, floral citrus notes give the classic frankincense a bright, elegant and pleasantly harmonious fragrance composition.
Mount Athos is an autonomous monastic republic in northern Greece and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1988. Around twenty Orthodox monasteries shape the spiritual life of the peninsula. Some of them continue to produce incense today according to traditional recipes carefully preserved within the monastic communities.
Orthodox incense has been used during church services, prayers and religious ceremonies for centuries. Outside the liturgical tradition, many people also appreciate its fragrance for meditation, moments of contemplation or for naturally scenting living spaces. These uses are rooted in religious and cultural traditions.
