Chemistry

Major constituents include:

- α-Pinene (35–50%) – Fresh piney brightness; respiratory support and mental clarity

- Limonene (10–15%) – Uplifting citrus tone; mood enhancer

-β-Caryophyllene (5–10%) – Anti-inflammatory and grounding

- p-Cymene and Myrcene – Sweet, balsamic warmth

Incensole and Incensole acetate (trace) – Neuromodulatory; promote calm and emotional balance.

This elegant balance of volatiles gives Frankincense Rivae its distinctive aroma and broad therapeutic spectrum — anti-inflammatory, respiratory, and deeply centering.

In perfumery, Boswellia rivae Essential Oil acts as a soft amber-resin heart and a natural fixative.

It blends effortlessly with:

Woods: Cedarwood, Sandalwood, Vetiver

• Resins: Myrrh, Benzoin, Labdanum
• Florals: Rose, Neroli, Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang
