Frankincense, Rivae Essential Oil

Resolutely riveting Rivae Frankincense is a robustly resinous aroma with deep dimensions inviting the divine. This complex, formidable fragrance of earth and wood enveloped with candy-like sweetness is a siren song for perfumers.

Rare Rivae Frankincense arouses all the olfactory fascination of classic Frankincense with a daring dollop of dark and intensely incense-like notes that strengthen into cedarwood and cypriol with an even grander resinous scent.
 
This most fervent of Frankincenses is an aromatic achievement of Ethiopia, where the Boswellia tree’s amberous oleogums are wild-collected by the pastoral peoples who tend their flocks in the lowland forests of the Ogaden region. In the summer, Boswellia rivae trees weep their resin onto the bark where it dries into dusky pearls. The pearls are collected by hand and then steam distilled to release the precious, powerful aromatic oils.
