Gifts of the Magi: The Original Gifts of Christmas. Gold: the Gift given by Melchior, a king of Arabia. He is said to be the oldest of the Three Kings. Frankincense: the Gift given by Balthasar, a king from Saba-present day Yemen. Frankincense is resin from the dried sap of the Boswellia tree-a tree that had grown on the craggy slopes of the Arabian Sea for thousands of years. In ancient times Frankincense and Gold were equally precious. Myrrh- the gift given by Caspar, is also a resin.It was first used by the Egyptians in mummifying the Pharos. It wasthought to be the key to immortal life. In ancient times, the finest Myrrh came from southern Arabia. Derived from tree sap, frankincense and myrrh are fragrant resins highly valued for incense and perfumes. Frankincense and Myrrh fragrance oil captures the essence of these enduring scents used for millennia. Hints of citrusy bergamot and amber open up to a heart of resinous myrrh and frankincense. The wood and incense notes are softened by powder and oud in the base. Olibanum, patchouli, and coriander seed essential oils reinforce the earthiness of Frankincense and Myrrh in candles.This fragrance is infused with natural essential oils, including coriander seed, cumin, lemon, orange, patchouli, and olibanum.
