Olibanum - Brown Hojari Resin
Olibanum, Also known as Frankincense is a precious tree resin sourced from the Boswellia genus while Brown Hojari is specifically sourced from the Boswellia Sacra tree, found in hotter and drier climates throughout Arabia and Eastern Africa. It presents as a smooth and firm resin with an almost crystal-like coating, which when broken and pulled a part leaves sticky, gooey and very fragrance strands of resin which almost drip from the transparent and dark brown centre. Smokey, woody and undeniably masculine in nature, this resin has been used in perfume to add a delicate yet powerfully woody and Smokey note. simply break into 0.5mm-1cm pieces and place on the centre of the warmer. (do not crush, it will GOOP over anything it touches, it is MAJORLY sticky once broken and its oil can stain clothing and its fragrance WILL stain anything it touches for days to come, so maybe wear gloves or use tweezers if you don’t want to smell like divine wood)
*We recommend gently heating this resin on our burners to make the most out of its delicate terpenes which otherwise would be unnoticed and burned away with traditional methods, such as burning on a searing hot coal!*
Scent Profile:
Top- balsamic syrup
Middle- Smoke
Base- Wood
Notes: Honey, Spice, Molasses
Warmer instructions:
place a SMALL clump/spoonful (approx 0.5 grams) on the warmer, allow it to melt for 5 minutes, when the mixture has slightly melted and darkened in colour, use the wooden stick provided to stir the mixture, pinching any remaining resin, and sprinkling it back into the warmer. Stir once every 10-15 minutes for even fragrance distribution. Resins can burn and release scent for up to and in excess of 4-6 hours. When mixture is black/VERY dark and no longer acts like a sticky oil, and acts more like a dry stone, the mixture has come to the end of its life and can simply be collected and sprinkled into garden beds or flushed down the toilet.
Coal/traditional burning instructions :
Very carefully follow coal instructions and wait until the coal is completely ignited and has a thin, white coating of soot. ENSURE ADEQUATE VENTILATION, Take a VERY small amount of the mixture: approx 0.15G (for indoor use) and place onto coal using tweezers or a small, metal spoon. When mixture stops smoking and creates a black char on the coal, it has come to the end of its life and you may either repeat the above steps until coal is no longer ignited or simply wait for the coal to burn out.
