Globally sacred and with a fascinating past, incense - or Olibanum - was mainly associated with the worship of the divine and seen as a universal and priceless source of wealth since the earliest antiquity. As the greatest perfumers of that time, the Egyptians used it, among other purposes, to burn it in temples as a means of communicating with their deities. Because of its scarcity and preciousness, this mystical substance was subject to many trades, first of all by caravan, from the Arabian Peninsula to the Mediterranean, and particularly profitable from the 3rd century BC. From the Latin "incendere" ("to burn"), incense also refers to the aromatic resin produced by the incense tree, the Boswellia. Originating from the Arabian Peninsula and Africa, this tortuous tree with small white or pink flowers and a strong spiritual representation is traditionally known for its powerful anti-inflammatories properties. From the distillation process of this precious oleoresinous gum extracted by incision of the Boswellia trunk is created the exotic Frankincense hydrosol with woody and slightly spicy fragrances.
