🌍 Why Socotra? The Island Behind Our Frankincense

A place like nowhere else — home to the world’s rarest Luban.

Tucked away in the Arabian Sea lies Socotra, a remote Yemeni island often called “the most alien-looking place on Earth.” With towering dragon blood trees, untouched coastlines, and ancient traditions, Socotra is more than a location — it’s a living treasure.

At Luban Socotra, this is where our story begins. Our frankincense comes from the Boswellia trees of Socotra, wild-harvested by hand in the way it has been for generations.

But what makes this island — and its Luban — so special?

🌿 A Land of Pure Natur

Socotra is one of the most isolated and biologically rich islands on the planet. Over a third of its plant life is found nowhere else on Earth — including rare species of Boswellia that produce an especially fragrant and resin-rich Luban.

Thanks to its untouched ecosystems and dry climate, the resin from Socotra is uniquely pure, deeply aromatic, and sustainably abundant.

🐪 A Tradition Passed Down

The people of Socotra have long lived in harmony with the land. Our Luban is collected by local harvesters using ancestral knowledge and care, without harming the trees. It’s a slow, seasonal practice that respects nature’s rhythm — no mass production, no shortcuts.

This is wellness rooted in real tradition.

🧘‍♀️ Scent with a Sou

Socotra’s Luban carries not just a beautiful aroma, but a sense of place. It’s earthy, citrusy, and grounding — a scent shaped by cliffs, winds, and centuries of care.

Each piece you burn carries the essence of this mystical island — a rare moment of calm, straight from the source.

✨ Why It Matters

In a world full of synthetic scents and factory-made wellness, Socotra reminds us of the beauty of the real — the untouched, the ancient, the wild.
