Maydi is the frankincense the Khaleeji and Somali traditions have called the King for centuries - drier, sharper, more linear than the Boswellia of Oman. The chemistry comes from a cliff face in northern Somalia that produces nothing else like it.

Where Hojari opens citric and softens into balsam, Maydi opens with pine and clean lemon and holds that character all the way through the burn. The tears keep their structure on charcoal, charring lightly on the surface - a slower, more deliberate session than the softer Hojari grades.

The frankincense for the longer evening, the smaller gathering, the room held quiet. The grade Khaleeji households have always kept aside for the company that mattered.

A contemporary house of ancient materials

Maison Éthérique brings together incense, aromatic resins, botanical bundles, crystals and the objects used with them. From our house in Dubai, we explore their aromas, stories and traditions - a collection for personal rituals, familiar favourites and gifts with meaning.

For the meaning it holds

A familiar aroma can become part of a daily ritual. A stone can be kept as a symbol of protection; a botanical chosen for a practice of purification. Across the collection, scent, beauty and personal meaning offer different reasons to choose.
