The parts of the plant that are being processed: resin; Types of raw materials obtained: essential oil, resinoid; Methods of production: extraction; Olfactory group: balsamic, subgroup: woody; Position in the olfactory pyramid: middle and base notes with the possible presence in the initial phase of Frankincense is among the very first perfume components, moreover, the The word "perfume" (Latin per fumum - through smoke) owes much of its existence to incense. Aromatic resin, used since ancient times for the manufacture of incense and perfumes, is collected from trees of the Boswellia genus (in particular Boswellia sacra, Boswellia carterii, etc.) and the Burseraceae family. The aroma of incense in perfumery depends on the type of raw material. The essential oil has a colder, tart, coniferous, terpene aroma, while the resinoid is characterized by warm, balsamic, sweet, slightly waxy, sometimes smoky and even floral shades, while maintaining the obligatory coniferous-woody component in the initial phase. Incense fragrances began to gain popularity in the early 2000s, and since then modern perfumery has never let this component out of the spotlight. Even after thousands of years, incense scents are credited with the ability to banish longing, heal depression, anxiety, promote meditative states and find harmony. However, the popularity of perfume with a note of incense cannot be called universal - this is true for the niche perfume segment and has little to do with luxury and mass-market perfumes. The first round of incense fashion was started by the Comme des Garcons Parfums brand, which released the Series 3 Incense collection in 2002, consisting of five fragrances. Following her, many niche brands became interested in the incense theme, and for seventeen years now, the fashion for mystical compositions with a note of incense has been fading, then flaring up with renewed vigor, never disappearing altogether. Nowadays, there are many balsamic scents, but scents with bright incense always stand somewhat apart. Among them: Serge Lutens Encens et Lavande, SAUF brand collection, Lavs Unum, Copal Azur Aedes de Venustas, Scandinavian Crime LM Parfums, Paestum Rose Eau D'Italie, La Liturgie des Heures Jovoy Paris, Wazamba Parfum d'Empire and many others.
