Which Should You Buy?
This one is exactly what it says on the tin: full-on, unadulterated incense. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with fans praising its authentic churchy vibes and detractors finding it too linear or unwearable. Don't blind buy unless you live for frankincense.
This isn't your Granny's frankincense. Boswellia Scotia delivers a pure, unburnt, and intensely cold take on the ancient resin, polarising those expecting warmth but captivating others with its stark, ethereal beauty. Prepare for a frosty, almost glacial experience, with some finding it a stroke of genius, others a bit too 'cleaning product'.
