Frankincense Somalia CO₂ Extract

About this material

Frankincense Somalia CO₂ Extract opens with a rich, resinous aroma that is both warm and slightly spicy, reminiscent of a deep, balsamic sweetness. As it develops, the scent reveals a complex blend of woody and herbal notes, with a hint of citrus that adds brightness to the overall profile. This extract is excellent for adding depth and a mystical quality to compositions, often used in incense-like fragrances or to enhance the warmth of oriental blends. It pairs well with other resins, woods, and spices, and can also lift floral notes by adding a layer of richness. Typically, it works well in doses ranging from 0.102% to 1.30%, with a common usage around 0.280%.
