Used in 18 formulas
About this material
Frankincense Serrata CO₂ Extract opens with a rich, resinous aroma that is both warm and slightly spicy, reminiscent of incense. As it develops, the scent reveals a complex blend of woody and balsamic notes, with a hint of citrus that adds brightness. This extract is excellent for grounding compositions, providing depth and a meditative quality that enhances both floral and oriental accords. It works well in both masculine and feminine fragrances, and pairs nicely with myrrh and labdanum to create a rich, resinous base. The typical dose in formulas ranges from 0.090% to 0.66%, usually around 0.230%.
