Frankincense Sacra aka the king of essential oils
Comes from a handsome small tree or shrub with abundant pinnate leaves and white or
pale pink flowers. It yields a natural oleo gum resin which is collected by making incisions into the
bark: at first, a milky-white liquid appears which then solidifies into tear-shaped amber to orangebrown lumps between the size of a pea and walnut.
It's a pale yellow or greenish mobile liquid with a fresh, terpeney top note and a warm, rich, sweet-balsamic undertone. It blends well with sandalwood, pine, vetiver, geranium, lavender, mimosa, neroli, orange, bergamot, camphor, basil, pepper, cinnamon and other spices. It modifies the sweetness of citrus blends in an intriguing way.
Frankincense sacra contains higher levels of alpha and beta pinene (compared to other Frankincense).
