The material

Hand-collected Dracaena cinnabari resin from the island of Socotra, off the coast of Yemen. The tree's umbrella-shaped canopy and silver-grey bark make it look closer to a coral than a plant; when the bark is cut, a deep red resin bleeds from the wound. The Arabic name dam al-akhawayn - "blood of the two brothers" - comes from a pre-Islamic legend.

How to use

Light a charcoal disc until edges glow grey-white (30–45 seconds).
Place a single piece on the warm charcoal.
The piece softens, melts into the disc, and forms a dark charred layer as it burns.
Let the burner cool fully before clearing.

Burn in a ventilated room. Keep away from soft furnishings.

Worth knowing

Socotra is a UNESCO World Heritage island where roughly a third of all plant species exist nowhere else on earth. The dragon's blood tree is its emblem - slow-growing, drought-adapted, reaching up to three hundred years of age. Climate change and overgrazing have made the species vulnerable, and harvest is now strictly regulated.

Dragon's Blood is the resin from the strangest tree on earth - Dracaena cinnabari, found only on the island of Socotra in the Arabian Sea. Used by the Romans for varnishes and pigments, by Islamic scholars for inks, by violin-makers for two centuries.

On charcoal it does something no other resin does: the deep red piece softens, melts into the disc, then forms a dark charred crust as the aroma deepens. Earthy, slightly leathery, with a faint dried-rose note underneath. The character is unlike any frankincense or copal in the range.

Reached for sparingly, for the moment that asks for something different. Each tin is a small fragment of an entire endemic ecosystem.

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.
