What does Frankincense Essential Oil (Boswellia sacra) smell like?

Omani hojari frankincense: a bright lemon-pine terpenic opening riding a very high alpha-pinene load, drying to a sweeter, more balsamic incense body than the Somali carterii grade. The quality to reach for when the incense has to read clean and sacred rather than dusty.

Every regulatory join - IFRA, GHS, allergens - is by CAS number, and a material can supply one through its constituents as well as its own row, so of the 569 materials carrying no CAS number the 244 without a constituent table are the ones that return "nothing known" rather than "nothing applies". The blotter hours are sourced rather than measured by us, and the app labels every one of them an estimate. There is no physical chemistry on a row: no molecular weight, no vapour pressure, no boiling point. The longer answer, or the whole catalog counted.
