Pine Resin Incense | Colophony Rosin from Portugal

Fresh, resinous, and deeply forested, this natural Pine Resin from MAYA Ethnobotanicals brings the aromatic character of evergreen woods into ritual, meditation, and intentional space-setting.

Harvested from Pinus sylvestris in Portugal, the resin releases a warm, balsamic pine aroma when burned over charcoal — bright and fresh at first, then settling into deeper woody and earthy tones.

For more than two decades, MAYA has built relationships with growers, wildcrafters, artisans, and traditional plant communities around the world. Their botanical collection is selected with an emphasis on authenticity, quality, and respect for the natural materials themselves, making this more than simply an incense ingredient — it is part of a carefully sourced global ethnobotanical collection.

Fresh forest. Warm resin. Grounded atmosphere.
