Wait- What do you mean, "Ethiopia or Somalia"?
Because essential oils are considered a "commodity", there can sometimes be variations in availability. Although both countries offer an almost identical resin, and it is the same species, there can be slight differences:
Similarities: Both options have a warm, sweet, balsamic, woody aroma. They are interchangeable in use since they are all good for stress, skin care, meditation and as immune stimulants.
Differences: Frankincense (Ethiopia) has a deeper aroma. Frankincense (Somalia) has a more aromatic, spicy scent.
