Frankincense
Frankincense presents a complex olfactory profile that is primarily resinous and balsamic, yet layered with surprising nuances. It opens with a bright, almost effervescent burst of sharp, peppery citrus, reminiscent of lemon or orange peel, often accompanied by a clean, slightly pine-like or green facet. As it evolves, the scent deepens into a warm, dry, woody core, revealing its characteristic balsamic richness. There's a distinct mineralic or dusty quality, sometimes described as powdery or waxy, which contributes to its ancient feel. When burned as incense, it produces a distinct, purifying smoke, but the resin itself, or its extracts, offer a clearer, less acrid aroma. The intensity is moderate to strong initially, settling into a persistent, warm glow. It functions predominantly as a base note, providing structure, depth, and exceptional longevity, though its brighter facets can sometimes be perceived in the heart.
