Boswellia sacra Red Hydrosol, also known as Red Frankincense Hydrosol or Amber Olibanum Hydrosol, is an exceptionally rare and spiritually revered aromatic water distilled from the deep-red, amber-colored resin tears of the Boswellia sacra tree. Harvested in the arid mountains of Oman and the Horn of Africa, this hydrosol represents one of the highest grades of frankincense distillation, prized for its profound therapeutic aroma, deep purity, and energetic potency.
Unlike the traditional white or silver frankincense tears, red Boswellia sacra resin contains a richer concentration of boswellic acids, sesquiterpenes, and resinous aromatic molecules, resulting in a hydrosol with a warmer, sweeter, and more resin-dense aroma profile. It is considered the most mystical and grounding frankincense water, deeply connected to purification, emotional release, and ancient spiritual rituals.
Aromatic Profile
Red Boswellia sacra hydrosol offers a unique and luxurious fragrance:
Warm, sweet, and resinous
Notes of amber, honey, incense smoke
Soft balsamic undertones
Deeply grounding and meditative
It differs from standard frankincense hydrosol by being fuller, deeper, and more ambered, with a gentle sweetness that lingers on the skin and in a room. Its aroma is both comforting and elevating, creating a bridge between emotional calm and spiritual focus.
Botanical Origin & Distillation
This hydrosol is produced through slow copper-still steam distillation of hand-selected red/amber oleoresin tears of Boswellia sacra.
The resin is harvested from mature trees growing in mineral-rich desert valleys, exposed to intense sunlight that enhances resin concentration and color.
During distillation, the resin releases:
Water-soluble boswellic compounds
Micro-droplets of olibanum essential oils
Complex aromatic acids and resins
These components infuse the hydrosol with its characteristic deep incense aroma, therapeutic value, and subtle golden-red tint.
No alcohol, preservatives, or additives are ever included—this is a pure, single-origin botanical distillate.
