Olibanum Neglecta (Frankincense Oil) – Kenya is a rare and distinctive frankincense essential oil obtained from Boswellia neglecta, a species native to the dry regions of Kenya and East Africa. Unlike traditional frankincense species, Boswellia neglecta offers a uniquely vibrant aromatic profile that has attracted growing interest from perfumers seeking uncommon resinous materials.
Its aroma is fresh, resinous, and highly diffusive, combining bright citrus-like freshness, green facets, woody undertones, and characteristic incense nuances. Compared to other frankincense oils, Olibanum Neglecta often displays a more rugged and vibrant character with an intriguing balance of freshness and resinous depth. The result is an aromatic material that feels both wild and sophisticated.
In perfumery, Olibanum Neglecta is widely used in incense accords, woody fragrances, amber compositions, fougères, fresh oriental creations, and contemporary niche perfumes. It blends exceptionally well with myrrh, cedarwood, sandalwood, patchouli, vetiver, citrus oils, spices, oud, and amber materials.
Highly appreciated for its originality and versatility, Olibanum Neglecta provides a fresh interpretation of frankincense while maintaining the depth and spiritual character that has made olibanum one of perfumery's most treasured materials.
