Description
Olibanum - The Classic Incense
If you've ever been in an old church, you know this scent. Olibanum, also called frankincense, has an aroma that's immediately recognizable - resinous, lightly sweet, with something that rises upward. It's the smell of sacred places, of silence and contemplation. Not for nothing has olibanum been used for thousands of years from Europe to the Middle East, from Africa to Asia.
This resin comes from the Boswellia tree, which grows in dry, rugged areas. The tree is tapped - a small cut is made from which the resin drips and then hardens. Sagrada Madre works with suppliers who treat these trees respectfully and ensure the harvest remains sustainable. The resin is processed into sticks that are hand-rolled, with natural charcoal and fruit biomass as a base.
Olibanum has a long history. It's mentioned in ancient texts, used in religious ceremonies, valued as medicine. The smoke was seen as a way to carry prayers upward, to purify the spirit, to create sacred space. That tradition still lives - olibanum brings an atmosphere of silence and reverence.
What makes this incense special: The pure, classic scent of olibanum frankincense resin. Perfect for meditation, prayer, or any moment when you want to calm your mind and create space for silence.
What Does It Smell Like?
✧ Resinous Clarity
Olibanum opens with something almost citrus-like - fresh and clear. Then that typical resinous scent emerges: warm, lightly sweet, with a kind of depth that's hard to describe. It smells ancient in the sense of timeless, as if this scent existed before there were words.
✧ Elevated Simplicity
What makes olibanum special is that it doesn't need to be complex to make an impression. The scent is relatively simple - resin, light sweetness, a touch of herbaceousness - but the effect is powerful. It creates an atmosphere of peace and reverence, it makes the space quieter without you knowing exactly how. The scent lingers and changes subtly as the stick burns.
How Do You Use This Incense?
Olibanum fits moments of contemplation. For meditation when you want to sit without thoughts that keep racing. For prayer or reflection when you're seeking connection with something larger than yourself. Or just for moments when you need silence and want to release the day's busyness.
Light a stick and let the flame burn briefly before blowing it out. The smoke rises and spreads that classic incense scent. Each stick burns for about 60 minutes, but often 5 to 10 minutes indoors is enough to change the atmosphere. Extinguish in shell sand when you're done. This incense also works well for purifying spaces before an important conversation, ceremony, or simply to renew the energy.
