The monks of Prinknash Abbey have been blending frankincense resin with aromatic oils and spices for over a hundred years. This is a discontinued blend (though stocks are still available - mostly from church suppliers) of coloured frankincense and styrax resin.
The scent is gentle, fresh, lively, and attractive. Soft lemon is the main note, with understated pine, and a muted balsamic bitterness that edges onto caramel. I found that putting a little water in the burner prevented sharp notes which I have experienced with Prinknash resin - possibly from the fragrance oils that Prinknash use. The water appears to stop the oils from scorching.
While available, stocks appear to be low, but as of Aug 2025 500g packets can be bought from NE Church Supplies at £24.99; PowerfulHand at £17.99; and Braid Alter Supplies at £21.99.
