Pure Indigenous Kenyan Black Frankincense Essential Oil is steam distilled from the dark aromatic gum resin ofBoswellia neglecta, a rare frankincense species native to East Africa. Its fragrance is rich and resinous, opening with sweet-spicy terpenic notes before settling into a woody, balsamic base with a subtle citrus-like brightness.
Deeply layered and unmistakably frankincense, it is a beautiful choice for aromatherapy, natural perfumery and carefully diluted body-care blends where a warm, contemplative resin note is wanted. Why we love it: Compared with the more familiar carterii and serrata oils, Boswellia neglecta feels darker, warmer and more textural, with an aroma that is both ancient and surprisingly bright.
We especially love it in slow evening diffuser blends, resinous natural perfumes and simple aromatic rituals.
