Frankincense Incense Sticks - Box of 40 Peruvian Copal Opal is hydrated silica -Frankincense is the resin of the Boswellia tree, burned across the world for as long as people have burned anything for its scent. On its own it is warm, resinous and slightly citric. Here the workshop lifts it with Himalayan juniper, a sharp green evergreen from the Nepali mountains, which keeps the stick clean and bright. Hand mixed and hand rolled, solid, no bamboo core. A classic incense resin, made by hand and given a Himalayan edge.
