The character of Eritrean olibanum
Olibanum, better known as frankincense, is one of the oldest and most widely used incense resins. This pack contains pure olibanum of Eritrean origin, whose character is classically temple-like: coolly clear, slightly citrus, rising more sharply at first and then fading slowly. You will feel its character best when you wait patiently for a few minutes in a quiet room and watch the wisp of smoke ripple upward.
Step-by-step use
Place a self-igniting charcoal disc in a heat-resistant censer, ideally on a layer of sand. Light its edge and wait until the surface glows evenly. Add a few grains of olibanum and watch as the resin melts into small droplets. The aroma unfolds more quickly than that of deeper resins. Experiment with the amount to find a tone that fits your home.
When you will gladly play it
It fits morning tuning in, meditation, quiet evening rest or ritual moments equally well. You can also enjoy it when you wish to evoke a traditional temple mood at home. The 500 g pack is particularly practical for those who use olibanum as part of a daily or weekly practice.
Proper storage for lasting quality
Keep olibanum in a well-sealed glass jar or metal tin in a cool, dark place. Its character will keep for two to three years. Keep it away from heaters and direct sunlight, and safely out of reach of children and pets. It is best to store charcoal discs separately in a dry place so they always light easily when needed.
A long-term companion in your home
Through regular use of olibanum a classic yet very personal scent bond can form between you and this resin. Many users say its character helps settling down while keeping attention fresh. You will choose a truly ancient companion whose mood has accompanied people for centuries and still serves quiet moments faithfully today.
