With an enchanting spicy, woody, balsamic aroma, Frankincense- Frereana has a multitude of desirable qualities. When diffused, it can refresh any space while establishing an air of peaceful reverence. Frankincense- Frereana is one of the rare essential oils of antiquity, offering a glimpse into the ancient past.
A beautiful small tree or shrub with abundant pinnate leaves and white or pale pink flower, Frankincense yields a natural oleo gum resin that is collected by making incisions into the bark. The essential oil is collected from the resin through a steam distillation process.
