I have an essential oil that’s very old and I’m looking to have it recreated because it’s running low and what it smells like is this:
Imagine closing your eyes and being in a dimly lit church with the aroma of those votive candles all around you. Many people who have smelled it agree with me – they say “Wow, this smells like church”. I need to know what ingredients can possibly make an essential oil smell like the inside of a Catholic church. It’s haunting.
Like a Catholic church? It might be frankinscense and myrr.
I used to get nauseated when I was a kid during special masses from that stuff.I only found out what they were because I had lady come over to clear stagnant energy from my home and i got that same deathly sick feeling from the smell.I asked her what she was using and she told me it was frankinsence and myrr.You can find these products at a new age store or health food store.
Most anointing oils are made from many different plants, herbs, trees, and flowers. The most common is a mixture of frankincense and myrrh. It is impossible to tell what smell you are referring to but I will try to help you out. Biblical anointing oils were made with spikenard, rue, pine, cinnamon, cypress, saffron, henna, juniper, myrtle, cassia,wormwood…stuff like that. They used real plant resins, bark, flowers, leaves, spices, extracts, and oils. Fragrance oils were made specifically for the modern day perfume industry to reduce the cost of making perfumes and standardize a scent.
