## About this gift

Along with myrrh, frankincense was the first gum used as incense, and this 10 ml bottle holds it as a pure essential oil. An essential oil is a concentrated oil taken from a plant. It belongs on the shelf of anyone who meditates or loves old ritual scents.

Frankincense, also known as olibanum, is steam distilled from the resin of the Boswellia carterii tree. Steam distillation uses steam to draw the oil out of the resin, and resin is the hardened sap of the tree. The name comes from the French franc, meaning luxuriant.

Ancient Egyptians burned frankincense as holy incense, and the earliest record of its use is a tomb inscription of Queen Hatshepsut, from the 15th century BC. It is said to symbolise divinity, and it is traditionally used during meditation. Choose it for a scent with thousands of years of ritual behind it.
