1 oz Old Church Athonite Style Incense Resin frankincense cedar fir Orthodox

We bottled up the aroma of an ancient Byzantine basilica with wooden rafters overhead and the smoke of frankincense lingering in the air. Old Church incense is a complex and woody blend of labdanum, frankincense, cedar & fir needle and vetiver, with a touch of spices.  All incense comes in easy to open durable plastic screw top containers to preserve fragrance and freshness.  While most people are familiar with incense sticks, resin is really the original incense, as it is obtained from refined tree and plant sap and has been used all over the world for thousands of years, even in Ancient Egypt times. Compared to incense sticks, resin offers a stronger scent and doesn’t contain any unwanted additives.  As natural resin doesn’t burn on its own, you’ll need charcoal tabs to burn resin incense. Simply light the charcoal, spread the resin on the charcoal using a small spoon and enjoy the rich resin fragrances.  Our Athonite Style incense is made at a Monastery here in the USA.
