Copal Bark Resin

Adam Michael has this to say “Also known as African Copaiba and Copal Bark and available by some suppliers in CO2 form. When burned**, this material is a pleasantly warm, comforting, sticky, resinous aroma with some amber type qualities and some moss and sweetened nuances. Nice material and obtained by tapping the tree. According to reading material locals are said to use the resin to fumigate huts, kill vermin and fragrance clothes.”

Botanical Name: Daniellia oliveri

Origin: Senegal

** At Hermitage Oils should you wish to burn the material neat we would recommend burning the material on an oil burner opposed to using charcoal disks. If you follow this recommendation we also advise placing a piece of foil in the well of your oil burner and then laying the resin on top. This prevents lots of mess and cleaning after use and by using an oil burner you get to enjoy much more of the aroma of the resin than when using charcoal disks.
