Worth knowing 📖

Maydi incense has been highly valued by the nomadic peoples of Somalia for centuries. Unlike many other types of incense, Boswellia frereana was historically used less for temple rituals and more in everyday life: to cleanse living spaces, to scent clothing and hair, to accompany rites of passage (birth, marriage, death) and for spiritual centering.

Due to its fine fragrance, Maydi frankincense was even used as a natural perfume substitute in the past - pieces of resin were worn in robes or placed in water to lightly aromatize it. Even today, it is considered one of the most valuable incense raw materials in natural perfumery.
