Frankincense is similar to Olibanum, but is usually differentiated from it by a distinct lemon aroma, as opposed to the Olibanum's orange aroma. Frankincense is called for in many ancient and medieval recipes, and is the most commonly found ingredient in incense blends.
The Kohl substance that ancient Egyptian women used to darken the area around the eyes with was made of charred Frankincense or Olibanum sometimes mixed with other resins and herbs.
Nagdi Frankincense is the second highest grade of Frankincense available, next to Hougari. The pieces are usually very large, and the aroma is simply amazing. This Nagdi Frankincense comes directly from Oman, the birthplace of Frankincense. |
