👑
Spicy, bright, balsamic
A classic frankincense scent, slightly spicier than pure frankincense thanks to the roasting. Bright and festive in the room.
🎨
Red, black and gold
In Arabian tradition red stands for the physical, black for the earthbound and transient, gold for the divine.

Guiding thought: “May the best possible happen for the good of the whole”
Indigo's tip for the 7th sense: “Frankincense simply strengthens what is there.”
Gold, frankincense and myrrh: every child knows the gifts of the Three Kings. Royal frankincense is the traditional frankincense for Christmas, Epiphany and the Rauhnächte, the twelve nights between Christmas and Epiphany.
For royal frankincense, frankincense (Boswellia sacra) is roasted and then partly glazed with natural plant colours and gold bronze. This creates the red, black and gold grains. Indigo recommends it just as much for any joyful occasion.
In incense tradition frankincense is assigned to the masculine principle. Indigo describes it as a resin that “simply strengthens what is there”.
📋 How to use
Hold the incense charcoal with tongs over a flame to light it and place it on shell sand in a fireproof vessel. Let it glow for about 15 minutes until it is covered with white ash. Then add one or two small grains with an incense spoon. Enjoy the scent as if smelling a flower, do not inhale it. If it starts to smell burnt, lift the remains off with the spoon and smother them in the sand.
