Product description

Damascena's Organic Somali Frankincense Essential Oil is obtained from the resin of the frankincense tree Boswellia carterii. It comes from controlled organic wild harvesting in Somalia and is distinguished by its balsamic, resinous and slightly sweet fragrance. This pure, natural essential oil is obtained by steam distillation and bottled by hand in Switzerland.

A balsamic frankincense fragrance with warm resinous notes

Somali frankincense has a distinctive aromatic fragrance with balsamic, resinous and sweet nuances. Unlike burning the natural resin as incense, the essential oil allows its fragrance to be enjoyed without producing smoke. In fragrance compositions, it provides a warm, resinous base note.

Frankincense in tradition and fragrance culture

Frankincense is one of the most traditional aromatic resins. For thousands of years, it has been used in various cultures for religious ceremonies, offerings and incense-burning rituals. Its role in Christian worship is particularly well known, as are the incense traditions of the Middle East and Northeast Africa.

In many traditions, the fragrance of frankincense is associated with contemplation, meditation and a solemn atmosphere. The essential oil retains the characteristic fragrance of the resin and is suitable for scenting rooms, for example during quiet moments or meditative rituals.

Organic wild harvesting in Somalia

The resin of Boswellia carterii is collected in Somalia and subsequently processed into essential oil by steam distillation. The raw material comes from controlled organic wild harvesting (kbW) and is certified under CH-BIO-006.

According to Damascena, approximately 10–15 kg of resin is required to produce 1 kg of frankincense essential oil. Bottling is carried out by hand in Switzerland.
