Boswellia frereana
Origin: Somalia

Sourced from the rugged, limestone-rich regions of Somaliland and Puntland, Boswellia Frereana, also revered as the "King of Frankincense," is a truly majestic resin. This rare frankincense, locally known as Maydi, boasts a captivating aroma that is deep, woody, and slightly smoky, evoking a sense of ancient grandeur.
With its luxurious, musky scent, Boswellia Frereana has been used for centuries in spiritual practices and perfumes, favored by religious institutions, including the Coptic Church. The rich history of this resin, combined with its earthy, sonorous aroma, makes it an iconic ingredient for incense and essential oils. Its notable characteristics include an exceptional composition of natural compounds like alpha-pinene and limonene, which contribute to its distinctive fragrance profile.
More than just a fragrance, Boswellia Frereana offers a range of therapeutic properties. It is traditionally used by Somali communities to alleviate joint pain, inflammation, and skin conditions. This regal resin is harvested with care, directly from family-owned farms, ensuring ethical practices and sustainable sourcing.
