Frankincense Frereana Essential Oil

(Boswellia frereana)

Also known as Maydi—the king of all frankincense—Frankincense Frereana Essential Oil is hydro-distilled from the dried, resinous sap of Boswellia frereana trees that grow wild in the high elevations of the Daallo Mountains, in the northern Sanaag region of Somaliland. This rare variety of frankincense offers a sharp, fresh, pine-like aroma layered with deep woody-resinous undertones and a bright citrus-lemon top note, creating a scent both invigorating and sacred.

While both Boswellia frereana and Boswellia carterii originate from Somalia’s mountainous regions, Frereana grows at higher altitudes and possesses a distinct chemical profile. Rich in pinene, thujene, and cymene, this variety is particularly valued for its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, analgesic, and antispasmodic properties.
