Perfumer’s notes:

As Autumn approaches, many will reach for their heaviest perfumes. Personally, I like to reserve the denser profiles for the deep winter months that feel eternal here in Scotland.

When leaves turn gold, I crave something atmospheric to complement the crisp air – with enough richness to provoke a nuzzling action. As such, I reach for frankincense-centric fragrances. I collect frankincense tears and enjoy the inherent undulating freshness, marvelling at the subtle but perceivable differences between qualities. 

Boswellia Scotia is a personal formulation that I use throughout the Autumn here in crispy Edinburgh. It attempts to capture the ethereal facet of finest Hojari Frankincense in all its weightless splendour, presented as purely as possible.

I must note that Boswellia Scotia is not a ceremonial incense style perfume. It doesn't smell like a place of worship. This TIME fragrance is a purer presentation of exceptional quality frankincense (olibanum).

For me, this type of profile is so befitting of the Autumn season. Harvesting of Frankincense in Oman varies by location, but it typically concludes by August resulting in a perfect partner as we move towards Autumn. 

Closer to home, Scottish botanist William Roxburgh gave the Frankincense plant the genus name Boswellia, in honour of his friend Dr. John Boswell. Roxburgh, known as the 'founding father of Indian botany', was superintendent of the Calcutta Botanic Garden and is responsible for discovering, documenting and naming countless plants. This unlikely connection between Scotland and the Frankincense plant (and botany in general) has captured my imagination since childhood.

Made in Scotland.

Incense masterpiece!

Upon the first application, it feels as if you are floating above endless primeval coniferous forests, shrouded in mist, with glimpses of stone fortresses, castles, and temples reaching skyward. Silvery-green lichens have taken over this place. The scent evokes their presence, along with pine branches, slightly sweetened and touched by the first frosts, as well as fir balsam. At a certain point, vibrant coppery saffron needles emerge, stitching together the intricate lace of forest notes, resins, and damp stone, threading through the composition tart, tangy pink beads of “Christmas Berries” (schinus), and droplets of yellowish-white olibanum that resemble a mineral.
The mist thickens into dense smoke from burning resins of frankincense trees, enveloping everything and transporting you from the open air into the interiors of ancient structures. Hidden here is a waxed wooden chest, adorned with oxidized metal, lined with glossy Muga silk, once imbued with the balsamic, mineral, and simultaneously leathery-resinous facets of olibanum. Its contents are clumps of earth from a distant forgotten land. When touched, the relic crumbles, releasing into the air the warmth of patchouli, faint hints of spicy nuances, the creaminess of Mysore sandalwood, and the texture of peanuts.
As the perfume begins to fade, it transitions into ambery-woody materials, occasionally bringing back the imagination to coniferous-green frankincense and the dense, stagnant air often found in gothic cathedrals or high-altitude mountains.
I adore frankincense in perfumery, so my collection always includes a variety of fragrances that explore this note. Boswellia Scotia by Jorum Studio is a wonderful example of a naturalistic portrayal of olibanum in its many facets, beautifully and modernly composed. Euan McCall has expertly placed accents throughout, making the fragrance impossible to grow accustomed to—it constantly sparks with tiny, stimulating nuances. I highly recommend it to those who share my love for fragrant resin.
On my “cool” skin, the fragrance lasts up to 8 hours (and for a full day on a blotter) in Buenos Aires’ humid and windy climate, leaving a trail of about 2 meters, which is quite comfortable for those around.
It is entirely gender-neutral and easy to wear.

Such beautiful words, thank you Maria!!

Time in a bottle? Yes

Finally! I got one of the limited releases and I'm in love with it. The scent is rich and lasts beautifully. It radiates a comforting warmth that feels familiar..
.from another time.

Thank you, Eden!
