Frankincense, a highly fragrant resin collected from Boswellia trees, was reputedly one of the gifts presented to the infant Jesus by the Three Wise Men.

Today, frankincense is still highly valued for its warm, spicy scent. Powdered frankincense is used to make perfumes and other cosmetics. It is also used to make incense blends, often in combination with cedar or myrrh.
