Incense from Alchimia Cerimoniale – Betekrest

Betekrest ✦ Aroma and tradition Ethiopia – Betekrestian (Boswellia papyrifera). This resin, used for centuries in Ethiopian liturgical traditions, is the heart of incense and releases a dry, deep, contemplative smoke. The red sandal accompanies combustion with a soft, warm woody base, without overpowering the resin. ✦ Evocation An essential and collected incense, which recalls ancient places of prayer. The smoke is stable, silent, and invites you to slow down and listen. ✦ When to use it Ideal for moments of introspection, silence and recollection, when looking for depth and presence.   12 100% natural stick incense of the chosen fragrance 1 as a gift at the artisan’s discretion; they are hand-turned with ingredients from both Italian and non-Italian sources; Each stick lasts approximately 40 minutes, providing over 8 hours of burn time. I wanted to place a SEAL to slow the natural volatility of essential oils and other terpenes, to prevent them from absorbing moisture, to ensure that the buyer, after the craftsman’s hands, is the first to touch the incense. Last but not last consideration, I personally consider it very important on an energy level. Each incense is formulated to spread the aroma in a balanced way in a space of over 20 m², creating a perceptible but never intrusive atmosphere. (If the space is narrower, you can break it or turn it off.) I build collaborations with various ethical professionals in the area, who provide me with essential oils extracted by them personally or materials collected and treated by them and/or by me*. NB Some materials are bought, I always rely only on those I know and of whom I know at least the ethics. *I invite you to check out my social media channels to also learn about these extraordinary and passionate artisans. instagram
