Called incensum in Roman times and also known as frankincense, incense represents the divinity of Christ. It was one of the three gifts given to the baby Jesus and burning incense is still a highly symbolic part of the Christian liturgy, particularly in the Orthodox Church.
Mysterious, sensual and extremely natural, frankincense is hand-harvested from secular trees in the Golis mountains of North Somalia, by scratching the bark to produce the hardened resin 'tears' used in perfumery.
A delicate touch is added to the aroma of incense by blending together a handful of elements which evoke the main note. Vibrant top notes of labdanum and nutmeg flowers are tempered by the highly distinctive scent of benzoin.
This candle has been discontinued.
Just a note about a few things when looking at "older" candles - those no longer in production. Frosting - this is a natural byproduct of a natural wax and in no way affects the burn ability or fragrance of a candle. It is caused by tiny crystal growth that forms on the top and sides of the wax. Sweating - this is caused by a combination of things and 100% soy candles are notorious for sweating. Soy wax can release excess oil during temperatures changes and this can be strictly from the wax itself. The import thing to note is that sweating will not affect the quality or performance of your candle.
All of my candles were kept in a cool, dry location in their original boxes/tins.
