About Frankincense

Scent Profile

Frankincense combines cool smoke, lemony resin, dry wood, and a mineral-like clarity. In perfumery, the idea may be expressed through a natural extract, isolated aroma materials, synthetics, or a composed accord. Sweetness, dryness, temperature, and diffusion depend on dose and context.

Use in Perfumery
