Certified Organic Black Hojari Frankincense Resin from Oman (Boswellia Sacra) (1/2 lb/Pound)

I am not an incense connoisseur but I like the best and I don't shy away from the price because I understand that there are many costs associated with it.I have used, until now, the sacred green hojari but I have a complaint with it: at the end of the burning it releases thick, burnt smoke that is offensive to the throat and the eyes.Not with this one.This one's smoke is suave from beginning to end. No after smoke offensive odor. And the odor is such that it gave me immense joy, yes: if you can feel joy from burning incense, this is the one. I felt like the weight of the earthly existence was lifted from my shoulders and for 10 minutes I was transferred to the levity of heaven. Yes, literally.Also, I don't complain about the price, I was spending the same amount of money with the green hojari, and what's more you get an abundance of the incense with this one. Not sure about the fancy packaging but that was welcomed also.So all in all: I will never stop buying this incense for as long as I will be able to, and for what I am concerned, my search for the perfect incense stops right here. I have found the smell of Heaven.

Great product

This is my second time purchasing this frankincense. It is used to cleanse to areas of any negative influences....when smudging with sage is not enough. It has been used in churches forever for this purpose. However the price has gone up so much on that ubiquitous heavily abused inflation nonsense, I wont be buying again.

Smells amazing!

Awesome scent will satisfy all but the purist. Big amber chunks 1-3" - This is the good type, not the creme de la creme holy hojari of church grade, but absolutely delightful.Softer type. Burns fast.Ive been burning frankincense for decades. Pretty sure Ive smelled them all. This is a 7/10 overall.Points deducted only for rapid burn (requires frequent replacement) and the fact that finer grades do exist.At $30 for half pound ($60 pound), this product is priced far above its general value. This price is what you should expect to pay for the very finest grade of frankincense, but cost may be elevated due to current cargo ship blockade (Sept/Oct 2021) or some other scarcity, or perhaps the unnecessary gift-grade packaging (burlap bag and hang tag within a box and accompanied by a full-color recipe booklet for frankincense water, etc.) which, while lovely, serves no real benefit to the average customer who simply wants good frankincense to burn.

Real frankincense doesn’t dissolve entirely in water. I boiled this and there were sap remains as well as a little bark. Thank you so much for such a high quality frankincense. I wish it was a bigger amount but I understand this product requires difficult extraction so it’s worth every Penny. I ordered black and green so they’ll both last about a month or hopefully longer. Can’t thank you enough 💚

Everything appears like the product picture, but the aroma is very, very weak. Tried burning a large chunk and that did not do anything but burn black soot into the air for a couple of minutes, which had no pleasing aroma. I feel ripped off. The description said certified organic, but if this is so it probably is diluted to less than one part pure with greater than 99% inert resin from some other plant. Cannot believe I paid so much for this pretty package of worthlessly diluted frankincense. I would have more enjoyment burning a $50 bill than burning this stuff.

This frankincense resin is beautiful and fresh. Fragrant even in its solid form-on charcoal gives piles of delightful smoke and scent that lingers for days. If you’re looking for the church experience of swinging the smoke, this is it. Clean and fresh and awakens the spirit!
