Dragon's Blood- Daemonorops draco

This resin is a bright red resin that has traditionally been used as incense and pigment.

The resin is obtained from the fruit of several palms of the genus Daemonorops and used in coloring varnishes and lacquers. There was a time when this resin was highly valued in Europe because of its astringent properties. 

The aroma is highly complex with different nuances. A faint berry scent is evident to the nose with a base of balsamic and earthy notes.

The aroma has that old feel, of times gone by and I can just not get enough of it. Sometimes it reminds me of agarwood
