There is something sweet to the historical scent of frankincense myrrh, reminding me of caramel with sweet pepper, vanilla, and dark chocolate. The frankincense is honey-like and woody with lemony top notes. It has rich, dark, smoky notes, and evokes memories of an old church.
 
In aromatherapy, frankincense essential oil is used to relieve stress, promote relaxation, and ease congestion. It's calming and spiritual aroma is also a great mood enhancer, and some claim that it can help improve concentration and memory as well.
