$77.98 $59.98 Save ~30%

Local harvesters in northern Somalia have called Boswellia frereana the "king of frankincense" for centuries. Unlike sacra and carterii, frereana lacks boswellic acids — instead delivering a bright, almost citrus-pine aroma driven by high alpha-pinene and alpha-thujene. The most aromatically distinctive frankincense and the variety traditionally chewed as an aromatic resin.
