Detailed Description

From the rugged deserts of northern Somalia comes Boswellia rivae, locally known as “Ogaden”. This frankincense is gathered by semi-nomadic peoples, whose way of life has been interwoven with the land and its sacred resins for countless generations. Their knowledge, passed down through centuries, ensures both the preservation of the trees and the purity of the harvest.

“Ogaden” frankincense is rich in essential oils, producing a complex and captivating aroma when burned. Its fragrance opens with earthy and spicy tones, then deepens into subtle notes of sweetness and wood, a layered experience that stimulates the senses and grounds the spirit.

The resin itself appears in dark, rugged chunks—black and gray tears of the desert, embodying the resilience of the land from which it comes. It is an accessible yet high-quality frankincense, making it ideal for daily use in the home—whether to create a calming atmosphere, enrich meditation, or simply perfume the air with its ancient presence.

For use with charcoal burners.
