Ладан и мирра/ Frankincense and myrrh | Почему эти смолы такие дорогие?

Frankincense and Myrrh. Why are these resins so expensive? When we think of incense in perfumery, our imaginations often transport us to sacred temples or churches, or to Eastern bazaars with powerful, enveloping scents. Frankincense and myrrh—these resins are perhaps best known for their biblical connotations. These tree resins have been prized worldwide for over 6,000 years. The most valuable frankincense varieties in the world grow along the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula. For millennia, southern Oman has been one of the cradles of incense. Growing on a high plateau, frankincense is obtained from a low-growing, twisted, light-colored bush that lacks a central trunk. Frankincense is a milky-white resin obtained from Boswellia trees, which are remarkable for their ability to grow in harsh conditions. This channel is about the diversity of the surrounding world.
