Which Should You Buy?
This one's a real love-it-or-hate-it affair. Mamajuju dares to be different, offering a deeply earthy, woody, and intensely spiced experience that polarises reviewers. Definitely not a blind buy, but if it clicks, it truly clicks.
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'.

Occasions
