Holy Lemoncense
Holy Lemoncense Incense
An "incense pearl" bend created at The Island Octopus Incensarium.
You will receive approximately 15 grams (0.52 ounces) of all natural resin-based incense housed in an aluminum tin with an illustrated label. The Island Octopus' "incense pearls" are hand-rolled for easy use with charcoal censers. We highly recommend trying them on electric incense warmers.
*** Blend description ***
Holy Lemoncense was first introduced in 2012 and was one of the first incense blends created under the "Yuletide Traditions" line from Ethereal Aromas Incense Company. This blend originated from my experiments with elevating the lemonene content of frankincense to a higher levels. Admittedly, my attraction to this combination was due to my love of lemon candy and the amazing anti-depressant qualities of resins from the Boswellia genus. Even though this new edition is quite frankincense heavy, it is yet another step on my quest to achieve the ultimate lemon/frankincense hybrid aroma.
The recipe is primarily based in my Neptunian Frankincense derived from Boswellia dalziellii, with the addition of the Socotran species Boswellia ameero and the "honey" Hojary of Oman. American styrax and benzoin from Thailand were added to brighten the base mixture, further infused with a touch of authentic rectified Baltic succinite. A sweet medley of oils consisting of lemon, litsea, sandalwood, amyris, ylang ylang, vanilla and others was infused into the resin base. Blended with "lemon" sandalwood from the island of Timor and antique agarwood from the Nation of Brunei. Hand rolled in fine white birch bark powder.
Holy Lemoncense is best experienced on an electric incense heater such as the legendary Golden Lotus heater. "Incense pearls" may be crushed before use to provide greater surface area. Also excellent as a "church" style altar incense using traditional charcoal method. Please ask if you have any questions!
