Frankincense was one of the gifts carried by the Magi (wise men) when they visited the baby Jesus. Being a practical gift with many uses, it was in those times considered a luxury item fit for royalty. Biblical scholars believe this to be one of the reasons frankincense was chosen for the Christ child. From earliest recorded history, fragrant and alluring smells have been regarded as an essential element of civilisation. In India frankincense is commonly referred to as Dhoop, the resin of the Boswellia Serrata tree.
