Olibanum

Olibanum or Frankincense is a resin from the Boswellia tree and is primarily used for incense and perfume. The name Olibanum has several alleged origins, one theory is that it means "Oil from Lebanon" while others say it comes from the Arabic and is a little carelessly translated “milk”. Olibanum has been used for incense for thousands of years and is sometimes called the white, pure or true incense.

The resin is distilled to get essential oils and the fragrance reminiscent of unripe apples, lemons. The scent also contains smoky hints of sweet, peppery resin.
