Greek Natural Frankincense Paste Incense Mimosa ~ Handmade on Mount Athos
Origin: Greece
Greek Natural Frankincense Paste Incense (Mimosa) shifted the fragrance profile from warm spice to a light, delicate floral scent while preserving the iconic Athonite ( Moschothymiama ) monastic crafting style.
Handmade by the monks on Mount Athos, this variant blends pure resinous frankincense tears with sweet, honeyed floral essences.
Mimosa Fragrance Profile
Top Notes (Mimosa Flower): Light, powdery, and soft floral tones with a subtle touch of green freshness.
Heart & Base Notes (Honey & Frankincense): Warm, sweet honey-like undertones anchored by the deep, resinous, and meditative base of pure Boswellia frankincense.
Overall Atmosphere: Serene, soft, and gentle. Unlike heavier spice blends, Mimosa offers an airy, spring-like scent that lightens a room while maintaining a tranquil prayer atmosphere.
Traditional Monastic Crafting
Pure Ingredients: Natural frankincense tears are ground into fine resin dust and combined with natural mimosa essential oils and aroma extracts.
Prayer-Kneaded Paste: Monks hand-knead the mixture into a smooth dough while maintaining unceasing prayer.
Magnesium Coating: The dough is sliced into uniform pieces and dusted with natural magnesium powder. This coats the outside, ensuring the incense pieces stay soft and fresh inside without clumping into a solid mass.
Burn & Care Tips
Use an Ash Layer: Always place 1–2 pieces of incense on top of a thin layer of gray ash over your lit charcoal tablet. This buffers the heat so the floral oils release slowly rather than scorching.
Low Smoke: Because natural paste contains no charcoal powder, sawdust, or synthetic binding glues, it yields a soft, lingering perfume with minimal smoke.
