Beeyo
The frankincense of the world's great fragrance houses — deep, resinous, faintly sweet, with the incense character no synthetic has replaced.
B. carterii is rich in α-pinene and boswellic acids, making it the workhorse of both fine fragrance and the wellness industry. Our lots are harvested in the second tapping, when the tears are largest and driest, then sorted into three colour classes at our Bosaso facility before a single kilo is offered. Our carterii stands sit on the same Cal Madow escarpment as the Maydi, on the Sanaag side of the range.
