Forgotten Gold

Forgotten Gold™ Perfume Oil: What is more precious than gold? From the 7th century BCE to the 2nd century CE, frankincense was the most valuable commodity on Earth. It's value far outweighed that of gold. The economy of the entire world revolved around the trade of frankincense. It was traded along the Incense Route from the Mediterranean, to the Middle East, India and beyond. From ancient temples centuries ago to medieval churches, frankincense was used alone and in combination with other herbs, woods and resins to perfume the air and create sacred space. It is still used today in modern temples, churches, and homes and is a favorite in perfume oils and incense. Main scent notes are: Sweet Frankincense, Myrrh, Benzoin, Copal, Cedar, and Clove. This is an earthy sweet, incense, unisex scent. PLEASE NOTE: The roll-on bottle must be shaken well prior to each application to make sure the thick, natural resins are mixed well after settling.
