DESCRIPTION
Frankincense is resin, not flower or leaf, and it smells like it: dry, balsamic, slightly citrus at the top and quietly smoky underneath. It is the oldest traded aromatic in the world.
Dolphin Clinic steam distil theirs from Boswellia carterii gum resin out of Somalia and Ethiopia. It is a base note, which makes it the oil that gives a blend depth and length, and it is why it appears in both Serenity and Exotic.
Four to six drops in a diffuser is enough for an evening. Avoid it during the first trimester.
The botanical name is on the label, which is the quickest way to tell a real frankincense from something cheaper wearing the name.
