Adam Michael has this to say “Frankincense Super Premium, is boswellia carterii material and this is exclusively produced for Hermitage Oils. The price is high, but the aroma profile is 10x greater than the regular b.carterii we and many other online sellers offer. Essentially this material is Frankincense carterii on steroids. If you are a lover of Frankincense like I am, I also highly recommend both the artisan produced Frankincense dalzielii E.O and one of my all time favourites, Frankincense Rivae.
Mark Evans has this to say “The everyday Boswellia carterii essential oil Hermitage and many others offer would likely be described as diffusive, bright, terpenic, with citrus top notes over a resinous, slightly peppery and balsamic base. It’s all nicely calming and meditative and smells wonderful – ho hum.
Now, let us completely blow your mind and take your frankincense experience up into the realm of draw-dropping beauty!
This Frankincense Super Premium offering is produced from the finest tears possible and in this instance are usually reserved for the pleasure of the very wealthy to enjoy for burning as incense. Through our contact, Adam has managed to have the resin steam distilled resulting in this super premium frankincense carterii. Truly a once in a lifetime opportunity.
As soon as you unscrew the cap, the room is filled with the fresh and complex top notes – citrus that actually smells of fresh juice and peel. Pine that clears the nose and mind of all else. Penetrating, resinous incense notes, sweet balsams and fruity pepper. The combined effect is one of stunning beauty that drives all other thoughts and concerns from the mind. The world stops and just for a moment, nothing else matters and you’re left in a mood of peaceful contemplation.
The brighter notes continue for considerable longer than I’ve ever experienced with any frankincense and even the next morning, there’s still a sultry, dry mandarin and wood scent left on the strip.
I can’t recommend this oil enough to any frankincense connoisseur and feel privileged to be able to experience it for myself. For use in perfumery, I’d suggest letting this oil take centre stage. It’s not often that this sort of quality becomes available and if you want to use frankincense as a modifier or enhancer for other aspects of your perfume, leave that to the other grades. This oil needs to shine in your creation and send its prayer to the heavens unencumbered.”

Fully compliant with Super Premium. This essential oil has become the incense of my dreams!
The most harmonious, complex, rich and multifaceted aroma among all the previously encountered essential oils of frankincense.
I tested it for several days, trying to figure out what notes it contains. This proved to be a difficult task. Each time, the oil showed its new face, intriguing and unexpected.
The aroma has both traditional “church” notes, as well as citrus, floral, green, coniferous, amber tones, replacing each other and interwoven into a beautiful melody.
I prefer to use this essential oil for meditation, either in pure form or with small, neat additives of wood, coniferous, floral and citrus oils.

This Incense oil is a TRUE top-middle-note, loaded with alpha and beta pinene. Therefore, the dry-down is a bit “deaf”. However, mixing it with “Clearwood” gave great results in my experience !

I love frankincense, but since I finished a my first bottle about 4 years ago I haven’t been able to find a quality to match. This one does. It has the warmth and intensity I have been looking for. Wonderfull.

This material is a true beauty. Really complex and difficult to describe. First impressions are definitely citrus/herbaceous/sweet, while the church accords come in later. I used it to create two different scents, both built around this frankincense but in a different way (balsamic sweet vs. woody floral). Great in both cases and definitely worth the money. I would really like to try dalzielii and black varieties as well.

Indeed one of the best frankincense oils this site has to offer.

Also a delightful Frankincense, very complex more churchy than the Dalzielii, I haven’t really combined this with anything as it’s so lush on it’s own. To me it’s like sleeping in fresh bed sheets in a sunny dry climate, in a bedroom with the window open so the desert winds can caress your skin whilst the curtains loft, orangey citrus, amber, cedar, oriental peppery, cactus, balsamic heavenly delight
