The story

Brought home from Oman

Frankincense has been burned in Omani homes for thousands of years: when guests arrive, on Fridays, at Eid.

My family is from Oman, so luban has always been part of home. On my last trip I went to Salalah, the heart of frankincense country, and bought this batch myself from a seller there. It's Hojari, the variety Oman is known for, with a bright, citrusy, resinous scent.

I brought it back and packed every bag by hand in the UK. This is the only batch. Once these bags are gone, that's it.

The resin

Look closer

These are the actual tears from this batch, photographed as they came out of the bag. Move over the photo to magnify.

A pile of pale yellow-white Hojari frankincense tears Pieces roughly 1–3 cm

Pale and milky

Hojari tears range from creamy white to soft green-yellow, with a frosted surface where the resin dried on the tree.

Clean, bright smoke

On a hot coal it softens and gives off a citrusy, pine-like scent with very little soot.

A little goes far

One or two pieces scent a room, so a 100 g bag lasts a long time.

How to burn

Three steps

  1. I

    Light the coal

    Light a charcoal disc in a heatproof burner (mabkhara) or dish and wait until it glows grey at the edges. An electric burner works too.

  2. II

    Add a piece

    Place one or two pieces of Hojari on top. A little goes a long way.

  3. III

    Let it fill the room

    The resin softens and releases a clean, bright smoke. Carry it from room to room, or let it scent the space.

Burn safely. Sold for burning as a home fragrance, not for eating. Never leave burning unattended, use in a ventilated room, place on a heatproof surface, and keep away from children and pets.

Questions

Good to know

Anything else? Email info@insaftv.co.uk or message @insaf_tv.

When will my order arrive?

I post every order within 5 working days by Royal Mail. Royal Mail then usually takes 2–3 working days. You'll get an email receipt from Stripe as soon as you order.

How much is delivery?

Nothing. Postage is free anywhere in the UK.

Do you post outside the UK?

Not at the moment, UK addresses only.

How do I pay?

Checkout is through Stripe, the same payment system big shops use. You can pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay or any debit or credit card. I never see your card details.

Can I buy more than one bag?

Yes. Just check out once for each bag you want. Postage is free on every one.

How long will 100 g last?

You only need one or two pieces at a time, so a bag lasts a long time, even if you burn it most days.

Is it real Hojari?

Yes. I bought it myself from a frankincense seller in Salalah, in the Dhofar region of Oman, which is where Hojari comes from. It's 100% natural resin with nothing added.

Can I return it?

Yes. If you change your mind, send back an unopened bag within 14 days of delivery for a full refund. If anything arrives damaged or wrong, email me a photo and I'll replace it or refund you, no return needed.

How should I store it?

Keep the bag sealed, somewhere cool and dry, out of direct sunlight. Stored like that, the resin keeps its scent for years.
