Incense
Incense is the resin of the Boswellia sacra, a shrub native to Oman, which is also found in Yemen, Somalia and India. This raw material, once considered more precious than gold, is extracted from the tree through an incision. It is then distilled with steam to obtain an essence, which is used as a base note.
Its camphor, cold and peppery smell brings a spicy, almost aromatic dimension to the most beautiful oriental and woody perfumes.
