 Olibanum Essential Oil
This relative of
frankincense smells similar but to me is lighter and more delicate,
more straightforward and less baroque. It is one of the ingredients in
incense of Abramelin (along with storax and aloeswood). Olibanum is the
Fire aspect of Elemental Fire
and so is an excellent perfume for working with Sylphs or Salamanders.
This fragrance is also good for Sun
work - centering, making safe, and prosperity. In the Kabbalah, this
scent represents the Sixth Sephira, Tiferet (Tiphareth), and it is an
ingredient in a magick perfume for Leo. Regular olibanum is
steam-distilled from Boswellia serrata in India. I have something new:
Black olibanum. This is much stronger than regular olibanum but also
has a much more piney, cool scent. The resin it comes from is black,
although the essential oil is not. I think this will be excellent for
constructing a Black Sun oil, since it is opposite the typical
vaguely warmish and resinous scent of regular olibanum. It's
steam distilled from Boswellia neglecta in Kenya.
