How to use

Light up a charcoal and place it in an incense burner.

Then put a little piece of frankincense onto the hot coal and let it perfume the room. You can also make a fumigation, perfuming yourself and your clothes with it; to do that just take the bakhoor burner next to you for 30 to 60 seconds.

Expert Tip

Using a mica plate is very useful to avoid the resin burning too fast, simply place one plate between the coal and the piece of luban for an optimal experience.

You can also consider using the frankincense as a sublime base for creating simple yet sophisticated incense blends. Here is a simple yet profound tip: enriching it with a drop of attar. This small act transforms the incense, elevating its aromatic profile and filling your space with a beautiful scent
