Frankincense — Resinous Scent Note

Bright and slightly citrusy at first, then smoky and dry. Older than the perfume industry itself — it's been burned as incense for thousands of years.

Frankincense is a base note in the resinous family. Origin: Hardened sap from the Boswellia tree, burned as resin. The foundation. The heaviest molecules — woods, resins, musks, and vanillas — appear last and linger longest, anchoring everything above them and leaving the trail.
