frankincense wood specialty

Frankincense wood specialty is a natural fragrance material characterized by its predominant woody and resinous aroma. Known also by synonyms such as frankincense wood perfume base and olibanum wood specialty, it is derived from olibanum or frankincense resin processed on cedarwood. This material appears as a complex mixture used primarily for its olfactory qualities rather than chemical singularity. It is recognized for its distinctive incense and woody notes relevant in perfumery. Referenced in the PubChem database, frankincense wood specialty is appreciated for contributing depth and warmth in fragrance compositions. The material's origin involves natural resins that traditionally form part of incense preparations.

Frankincense wood specialty occurs naturally as a resin-derived substance from Boswellia species, processed on cedarwood to develop its olfactory profile. It is utilized chiefly as a fragrance agent in various perfumery applications where woody and incense notes are desired. This specialty material's applications include incorporation into fine fragrances and incense-inspired scents. Compliance with the IFRA Code of Practice (Global) governs its safe use levels in perfumery formulations, ensuring adherence to recognized safety standards. Its role remains restricted to olfactory enrichment without use as a flavoring agent.

The solvent behavior of frankincense wood specialty includes solubility in alcohol, which facilitates its incorporation into typical perfumery bases and solutions. It is not soluble in water, reflecting the hydrophobic nature of its resinous constituents. These properties influence its formulation utility, particularly in alcohol-based perfumes, where clarity and stability are essential. The woody and resinous odor profile remains robust upon dilution in alcohol, making it versatile for diverse fragrance applications. Absence of defined toxicity data suggests a need for cautious handling consistent with typical fragrance ingredient practices.
