Pure Dragons Blood Resin From Socotra Island
From the sun-kissed shores of Socotra, an island sculpted by time and whispered legends, emerges a resin of unparalleled mystique: Dragon's Blood. Not from the veins of a fearsome beast, but from the heartwood of the Dracaena cinnabari, a tree as ancient as the myths it inspires. Picture this: a landscape of otherworldly beauty, where the Dracaena cinnabari, with its unique, upside-down umbrella-like crown, stands sentinel against the harsh, yet breath-taking, beauty of the Socotran terrain. These trees, survivors of eons, bear witness to the passage of centuries, their very existence a testament to resilience. It is from these ancient sentinels that the crimson treasure is coaxed. The process is as ancient as the trees themselves, a ritual passed down through generations. Imagine the skilled hands of the harvesters, their movements precise and deliberate, making incisions in the bark, releasing the lifeblood of the tree – a thick, viscous sap that slowly oozes forth, a crimson tear against the rugged bark. This is not merely resin; it is the essence of Socotra, captured in a vibrant, ruby-red hue. As the sap dries, it hardens, transforming into glistening, dark red fragments, each one a tiny piece of the island's soul. The aroma is as captivating as its appearance. A rich, earthy fragrance, with hints of sweetness and a touch of spice, fills the air, transporting you to the sun-drenched shores of Socotra. It is a scent that speaks of ancient mysteries, of sun-baked earth, and of the enduring spirit of this remarkable island. But Dragon's Blood is more than just a captivating fragrance; it is a substance steeped in history and legend. For centuries, it has been prized for its purported medicinal properties, its vibrant colour used in dyes, paints, and varnishes, and its mystical aura woven into rituals and traditions. From ancient alchemists to modern perfumers, its allure remains undiminished. So, when you hold a piece of Dragon's Blood resin from Socotra, you hold more than just a fragrant substance; you hold a piece of history, a fragment of legend, a whisper from a land where myth and reality intertwine.
Scent profile: COMPLETELY UNIQUE!- Deep sweetness, woody and smoky notes, along with powdery and spicy hints. This unique combination not only enhances spiritual practices but also serves as a luxurious addition to any incense collection. Its captivating aroma is perfect for meditation, relaxation, or simply enjoying a moment of tranquillity.
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.
