Origin Country: Ethiopia

Boswellia papyrifera, commonly known as paper frankincense, is a species of tree native to the dry regions of the Horn of Africa, particularly in Ethiopia. Boswellia papyrifera belongs to the Anacardiaceae family, which is well-known for its frankincense-producing species. This tree is best known for producing frankincense resin, which has been highly valued for centuries for its aromatic and medicinal properties. The resin, when harvested, is used in incense, perfumes, and traditional medicine. Frankincense provides one of the most evocative scents in the long history of aromatics. Its fresh, fruity, pine-lemon bouquet with delicately sweet, resinous and woody undertones, slows and deepens breathing and has been used since ancient times.
