Frankincense and myrrh are two of the oldest aromatic resins in human history, combined here into a single blend that carries their history lightly — a rich, resinous warmth that is at once ancient and immediate. Steam-distilled from both resins, this is a genuine two-resin blend rather than a single-botanical extraction.
Frankincense opens the blend — brighter, slightly camphoraceous, with a citrus top note. Myrrh grounds it — darker, more balsamic, with a smoky depth that keeps the blend from floating away into abstraction. Together, they create a whole that neither resin quite achieves alone.
Diffused before meditation, the combination has a long, historically well-loved connection with ritual and contemplative practice; many people also find it genuinely settling as an evening wind-down scent. Diluted into a carrier oil, both resins have a classic use in skincare, particularly for mature skin.
As with any essential oil, dilute before skin contact and patch test first; those who are pregnant or managing a health condition should consult a healthcare provider before use.
