Frankincense Carteri vs. Serrata: Which Should I Choose?
| Frankincense (Boswellia carteri) | Frankincense (Boswellia serrata) (this oil) | |
|---|---|---|
| Where it grows | Northeast Africa (Somalia region) | India |
| Aroma | Bright, lemony and piney opening with a warm, classic incense drydown | Softer and lighter with a citrusy, slightly sweet-balsamic resin scent |
| Main constituents (plain words) | Mostly alpha-pinene, the fresh, pine-like aroma compound also found in pine needles | A mix of fresh pine- and citrus-like aroma compounds (such as alpha-thujene and alpha-pinene) |
| Color | Clear to pale yellow | Clear to pale yellow |
| Best uses | Diffuser and meditation, incense-style natural perfume, facial and body oils | Everyday diffusing, body and massage oils, DIY soaps and candles |
| Choose it when | You want the classic, rich "church incense" frankincense scent and a smaller bottle for special blends | You want a softer, everyday frankincense in larger sizes (up to 16 oz) for regular blending and DIY |
Both are USDA Certified Organic, steam distilled and blend well with citrus, lavender and woods. Use the same dilution guide for both.
