Frankincense, also known as olibanum, derives its name from the French word “franc,” meaning “luxurious.” This resin, obtained from the Boswellia tree native to regions of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, has been cherished for its multifaceted uses in perfumery, aromatherapy, and magical practices.
In perfumery, frankincense has been prized for thousands of years for its aromatic properties. Its scent is resinous, woody, and slightly sweet, with hints of citrus and spice, adding depth and complexity to fragrances as a base note. Its enduring popularity in perfumery is a testament to its timeless appeal and versatility as a fragrance ingredient.
Frankincense has long been used for producing incense, with its use dating back to ancient times. Frankincense (Boswellia) incense was one of the presents of the Three Kings to baby Jesus. In Ancient Greece, frankincense resin was burned on altars and in temples for its calming and meditative properties. The aroma of frankincense slows down and deepens breathing, aiding in calming the mind and facilitating prayer and meditation.
In aromatherapy, frankincense essential oil is valued for its therapeutic properties, promoting relaxation, reducing stress, and enhancing emotional well-being. Its earthy aroma is believed to calm and soothe the mind, making it a popular choice for meditation practices even today.
Furthermore, olibanum holds a rich history in magical and spiritual practices, believed to have purifying and protective properties. Burning frankincense resin is thought to cleanse spaces of negative energies and invite positive vibrations, while also enhancing spiritual insight and deepening connections with the divine.
