What is louban?
Louban, or frankincense, is the dried sap from a genus of tree called Boswellia. Also called incense tree. Boswellia is a genus bringing together several species of trees, mainly native to Africa or Asia. They produce this famous aromatic resin, including Louban. This natural Acacia resin is obtained after incising the bark of the tree, at the level of the branches or trunk. The sap then flows and dries almost instantly on contact with air. It can therefore be collected by hand. Louban comes in the form of small yellowish and translucent stones, which slightly resemble raisins.
Olibanum is also known in Arabic as “louban dakar”, meaning “male incense”. This precious resin is actually a gum arabic, which was highly coveted when it was first discovered in the 15th century. We invite you to read on to find out more about this precious product!
Used as incense, gum arabic is the symbol of the Sultana of Oman, and its scent can be found in all the places of worship and souks of the Middle East.

Louban comes in a variety of forms, so it's important to choose the format that best suits your needs:
