Frankincense is a woody, spicy fragrance, with a hint of lemon. It comes from the resin of the bark of frankincense tree, which is native to the Middle East, and produced by distillation. Frankincense is a calming oil, useful for people with anxious and obsessional dispositions. It is widely used in skincare due to its rejuvenating mature skin properties. It is also slightly astringent which makes it useful for balancing oily skin as well as clearing excess mucus in the respiratory system. Frankincense oil blends well with lavender, sweet orange, geranium, patchouli, bergamot, lemon and myrrh.
