Hello There

 
I have just returned to NYC from the Middle East, bringing back some of our favorites--fresh frankincense and ambergris.

Fresh Frankincense

Just off the mountain, direct from Salalah, we've got a new sticky, oozy, gummy frankincense, happy and sweet.  He's got a prickly little piney sparkle and soft, white succulent smoke, perfect for scenting your clothes, you hair, the house, whatever you want to imbue with this delightful sacred scented smoke.

Ambergris

From the belly of the sperm whale, washed up on the beaches of Oman and Soqotra Island, we're happy to welcome back this richly redolent, utterly animalic, nearly overpowering, majestically marine, solid creation of partially digested giant squid beaks. You can make your own tincture using the grain alcohol of your choice. No whales were harmed in the harvesting of this delightful and decadent animal product!

Green Frankincense

Dhakhar is the name for this unusual and seasonal gum from the eastern mountains of Dhofar. Green frankincense is not burned in Oman, it's used medically, for stomach disorders. A tear is dropped into a glass of water at night and in the morning the delicious aromatic water is drunk for all types of digestive troubles and as a tonic. Green frankincense is rare and will not tolerate the light so we don't have him on display. He is under the counter and you must ask for him.

Frankincense Oil!

I've been distilling
like crazy in Oman, and have brought back a new batch of our lovely frankincense essential oil, hydro-distilled on site in Salalah.This is our usual, beautiful essential oil, embodying the sun and the austere rocks and mountains of Dhofar, with a sweet zephyr and glimmer of pine.
