Frankincense is one of my go to oils for multiply uses, it also blends well with so many other oils. I like to add to my usual face cream to help the dreaded wrinkles lol!

This has to be my top favourite (among many!) amphora oil. It's just a beautiful, uplifting smell. It's quite musty, but I love that.

This is the first time I have tried frankincense oil and it will certainly not be my last. This has been very soothing added to my home made face lotions - I particularly like it added to raspberry seed and organ oil serum first thing in the morning. Very good quality, and I must say that I also really like Amphora's packaging. The clean white and clear labels are simple and very elegant.

I like this essential oil however, it smells a bit like antiseptic unlike some other essential oils when it smells spicy and smokey?!!!

I am in love with this oil. I have been using it to massage my terminally ill fathers feet with sweet almond oil as a carrier and he finds it very relaxing.

Frankincense is an oil that I have used over the years for its anti inflammatory properties and spiritually uplifting elements. I also use in in my oil burner to aid meditation and find it great to use as an antiseptic. All round the brand supplied by Amphora Aromatics is the best I have used

This oil is my favourite oil. I used oils from the other brands but amphora beats them all. The other brands oils seems to change smell after some time, where amphora oil stays fresh and fragrant as the first time you open. Gorgeous! Thank you.

I love this oil, it's perfect for stress relief and also has huge anti-ageing benefits! I blend this with lavender to make a beautiful anti-ageing face cream, hand cream and body lotion! It is divine!

This frankincense oil is the one I use most of the time, I find it a wonderful oil for uplifting and self belief. If I am ever feeling stressed or worried a drop on my palm breathed deeply gives almost instant relief.
