Role: base note, fixative

Frankincense Somalia Oil opens with a fresh, balsamic aroma that has a slightly citrusy and resinous quality. As it develops, the scent deepens into a warm, woody character with hints of spice and a soft, camphoraceous note that adds complexity. This oil serves as a grounding element in compositions, providing a rich, incense-like backdrop that enhances both floral and woody notes. It pairs well with citrus oils to brighten the blend or with deeper resins and woods for a more profound, meditative effect. Typical usage ranges from 0.090% to 1.10%, with a common concentration around 0.300%.
