The tree was originally cultivated in Ethiopia and prized for its valuable resin. The incense smoke is characterised by a fresh lemon-pine scent. Frankincense Tears are distinguished from other types of Frankincense by the presence of large amounts of Octyl Acetate and Octanol and two other unusual and unique chemical markers, Incensole and Incensole Acetate. Studies have shown that Incensole Acetate affects our central nervous system and possesses psychoactive properties.
