Olibanum - Black Hojari Resin
Black Hojari Frankincense, sweeter and lighter than its Brown counterpart. Its texture is unlike any other, a delicate dance between fragility and strength. Each tear is a tiny universe, a dark, obsidian jewel, cool to the touch, yet pulsing with a hidden warmth. The surface is surprisingly smooth, almost velvety, like polished midnight stone, inviting a gentle caress. Yet, within its depths lies a subtle roughness, a whisper of the ancient earth from which it was born. And the aroma...a breath-taking symphony of contrasts. It begins as a whisper, a subtle hint of smoke and earth, like a starlit desert night. Then, as it warms, a deep, resinous sweetness unfurls, a rich, balsamic fragrance that is both intoxicating and grounding. It is a scent that speaks of ancient mysteries, of sacred rituals, of spiritual journeys. There's a hint of spice, a touch of bitterness that adds complexity and depth, making it a fragrance that lingers, a memory that haunts the senses long after the scent has faded. It's a fragrance that transports you to another realm, a place of quiet contemplation, where the veil between worlds thins, and the stars seem closer than ever before.
Scent Profile:
Top- Dates and sweet dark stone fruits
Middle- Balsamic Syrup
Base- Dark, Old wood and timber
Notes: Earth and smoke
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.
