Frankincense oil used in perfumery is slightly different from traditional burnt incense. The frankincense oil is a dense, woody and deep liquid with hints of wine and fur. To achieve a good balance, frankincense must be combined with other stabilizing ingredients. Between its benefits, it has antistretch mark properties and significantly reduces inflammation.
