Derived from tree sap, frankincense and myrrh are fragrant resins highly valued for incense and perfumes. Our Frankincense and Myrrh fragrance oil captures the essence of these enduring scents used for millennia. Hints of citrusy bergamot and amber open up to a heart of resinous myrrh and frankincense. The wood and incense notes are softened by powder and oud in the base. Olibanum, patchouli, and coriander seed essential oils reinforce the earthiness of Frankincense and Myrrh in candles and melts. Body scrubs, lotions, and soap made with this scent give an elegant and unique twist to your handmade creations.

This fragrance is infused with natural essential oils, including coriander seed, cumin, lemon, orange, patchouli, and olibanum.

Blends well with: Fraser Fir, Egyptian Amber, Spiced Honey and Tonka, Matcha and Bergamot

Alternative branding ideas: Ancient Cathedral

Suggested colors: Brown, Gold, Ivory

We did experience slight acceleration but no separation. The batter came to a light trace quickly and started to thicken with some hand stirring. Overall the batter remained workable and poured smoothly into the mold. After 24 hours, the soap had discolored to a dark yellowish-brown color. The scent was light but still true to the out of bottle character. We did observe that the soap reached a partial gel. After 30 days, the soap has discolored to a brown shade and the scent was slightly stronger than after the initial cut. This fragrance would be ideal for a design technique that requires a thick trace.

*Note - This fragrance was tested at a 5% fragrance load. With the release of IFRAs 49th Amendment this fragrance can now be used at 3.54% to remain IFRA compliant.

I could live in this bottle!

This is by far one of my favorite scents. Why isn't it approved for diffusers?! I mix this with another scent and it's my best selling scent. My customers want this in room sprays and diffusers! :'(

We wanted to reach out and let you know that you are welcome to use the fragrance in room sprays at up to 10%. For Reed Diffusers Category 10A of the IFRA does allow for this scent to be used at up to a 3.54% fragrance load. You're more than welcome to test at that fragrance load, just be sure to not exceed 3.54% to ensure that your fragrance is IFRA compliant.

Amazing Scent Body Butter

Parriss 2025-08-23

This was a great strong scent in my body butter. I've had several repeat customers who state they wanted to smell like Jesus. (LOL) I was told this nailed it. LOL I'm going to try this in cold process soap and see how this plays out. Fingers crossed the scent is just as strong in the soap.

Amazing

I did not expect to like to this as I don’t like incense type of fragrances but this doesn’t smell anything like that. It smells luxurious and rich and stands out alone as well as a great blender. Love!
