Is benzoin the same as frankincense
While they are similar in aroma and aromatic benefits, benzoin is not the same as frankincense. While frankincense is harvested from tree bark, similar to benzoin, it comes from different trees and has different scents. While benzoin has a warm and sweet aroma, frankincense has an earthier aroma reminiscent of pine needles.
