Some aromas define an entire experience.

Boswellia Serrata is prized for its layered aromatic profile, bringing warmth, freshness, and resinous depth to incense creations that stand out.

The ephemeral romance, the fleeting affair: frankincense and blackcurrant, caramelized black amber, and motia attar.

First sniff: This is white floral gone very mature, with something almost tobacco-esque flitting around.

Wet on skin: There’s something caramel about this that isn’t particularly sweet. It’s almost fig adjacent in the way that it’s dry and dark smelling. I’m not getting anything really fruity going on, or incensey for that matter. Based on the combination of notes I’d say this would be a sure winner for me, and yet- not so much so far.

Drydown: This softened into something much more gentle, a subtle jasmine-vanilla-amber that is nicely feminine but not nearly as interesting as the description lets on. I never get any currant or frankincense on my skin. I tried the 2026 version of this and I have a bottle of one that is from something like 2012 that I wonder if I will like more than this.

The story of Boswellia serrata is deeply rooted in Ayurvedic tradition.
