Greek Natural Frankincense Paste Incense Arabian Jasmine - Handmade on Mount Athos
Origin: Greece
Greek Natural Frankincense Paste Incense with the fragrance of Arabian Jasmine (Jasminum sambac) is an exquisite oriental-floral variant of traditional Athonite incense, blending high-grade frankincense resin with the intense, intoxicating fragrance of night-blooming jasmine.
Key Characteristics
Monastic Craftsmanship: Hand-kneaded by monks on Mount Athos who combine ground frankincense tears with concentrated Arabian Jasmine oil into a supple dough, cut into pieces, and coated in natural magnesium powder.
The "Arabian Jasmine" Scent Profile: Richer and deeper than standard floral scents, Arabian Jasmine offers a sweet, warm, exotic, and intoxicating floral bouquet layered over a grounded, resinous frankincense base. It has a smooth, velvety aroma that lingers beautifully.
Spiritual Resonance: Highly prized in Eastern Orthodox tradition, jasmine represents purity, spiritual sweetness, and heavenly grace. It is deeply loved for creating a peaceful, contemplative atmosphere during prayer.
Refined & Long-Lasting: The resin-oil dough melts slowly over heat, releasing a pure, authentic jasmine aroma without the bitter, burnt smell associated with lower-quality incense sticks.
How It Is Used
Home Icon Corner: A top choice for personal prayer time, evening devotionals, or bringing a calming, fragrant serenity to the household.
Special Church Feasts: Frequently used during Marian feast days (dedicated to the Theotokos) and evening Vespers services.
Practical Tips for Burning
Protect the Delicate Floral Oils: Extreme heat can scorch delicate floral scents. Always place a small piece of foil or a layer of charcoal ash between the hot coal and the incense piece so it warms slowly rather than burning directly.
Ideal for Evening: Arabian Jasmine is naturally relaxing and sweet, making it an excellent choice for evening prayer or winding down before bed.
