 Sandarac
Resin
Tetraclinis
articulata
The resin of this North African tree
has a fresh, clean smell together with the typically resinous scent of
plant gum. Sandarac got its name from the Assyrian words for
"as bright as the moon," which actually refers to a mineral that it
resembles. Aristotle thought it came from bees. Its yellow
tears are especially aromatic when heated, and its scent is very
relaxing. It is often used as a fixative in woody, pine, or oriental
perfumes. Sandarac has Saturn
influence in its association with juniper, it is Moon in appearance, and
its scent is of Mercury,
having two completely different aspects--fresh and light and heavy and
dark. We think these two aspects give it interesting possibilities for
use in Moon phase incense. Also known as gum juniper.
