Frankincense Frereana Essential Oil (Boswellia frereana)

Certified Frankincense Frereana Essential Oil – Maydi, the king of all frankincense

Certified Frankincense Frereana essential oil, also known as "Maydi," meaning "the king of all frankincense" – comes from the Daallo Mountains in Somaliland. It is rarely produced, and the raw resin is highly prized in the Middle East. Resin from trees growing in the Daallo Mountain region (Sanaag, Somaliland) is carefully harvested and hydro-distilled to produce an oil with an exceptionally pure profile: earthy and balsamic, with a sparkling citrus freshness.

Like other frankincense varieties, this oil is a purifying and clarifying addition to daily skincare, and also provides soothing properties to specialized blends for irritated and scarred skin.

A rare aromatherapy delicacy – the elegant face of Boswellia

It has a distinct, deep aroma with earthy, resinous, and slightly musky notes. This resin is extremely valuable and rarely distilled into essential oil, making it a true rarity in the world of aromatherapy. With immense gratitude, we are able to offer this unique Frankincense Frereana oil – rare, authentic, and full of natural depth.

It is the choice of frankincense connoisseurs – subtle, clear, and full of light. Frankincense Frereana, with its exceptional clarity, appreciated by experts for its freshness and lightness that cannot be confused with any other Boswellia, is considered by many to be the most elegant face of Boswellia.

"It's one of those oils you just feel. The skin reacts first. Then the breath deepens. And suddenly you know why so many people call it their favorite frankincense."
