Nestled in the Arabian Sea, the island of Socotra is a UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for its unparalleled biodiversity and surreal landscapes. Often referred to as the 'Galápagos of the Indian Ocean,' Socotra is home to numerous rare and endangered species found nowhere else on Earth. Among its most iconic flora is the Dragon Blood tree (Dracaena cinnabari), whose unique umbrella-like canopy and crimson resin have captivated the imagination for centuries.

Modern science has begun to uncover the remarkable benefits of Dragon Blood. Research has shown that it possesses potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, making it beneficial for promoting skin health and aiding in wound healing. Studies indicate that Dragon Blood resin can accelerate the healing process, reduce pain, and minimize scarring. Its antimicrobial properties further enhance its value, providing protection against infections.

Spiritually, Socotra has been a place of reverence and mystique. The Dragon Blood tree's resin, in particular, has been used in traditional rituals and is believed to possess healing and protective properties. Many mystics and shamans throughout the Middle East and Africa believe that the Dragon Blood from Socotra can manifest good intentions, remove negative energies, cleanse past life traumas, and alleviate negative feelings and emotions. The island's pristine environment and ancient traditions offer a serene escape, making it a significant spiritual haven.

With its many spiritual and religious benefits, this material has been used for thousands of years. Natives of the Arabian Peninsula know this material as the 'blood of the brothers,' a name derived from the belief that these trees are living beings and considered sacred. The Dragon Blood that comes from the island of Socotra is distinct in species and composition from other types known as 'dragon blood.'

We personally sourced this Dragon Blood from the hand-selected trees on the mountaintops of the Island of Socotra. This is the rarest, highest quality, and most authentic you will ever find anywhere. Lab-tested and certified. We went to extreme lengths to make it available for you.

We have brought you:

1 – Raw Organic Dragon Blood Resin (NOT a perfume). A total of 5 kilos

2 – Pure Steam Distilled Dragon Blood Oil (FOR collectors and purists). Total 100 ML

3 – Natural Dragon Blood Attar from the island of Socotra. 500 ML total

The resin: This was hand-extracted from the oldest and most precious trees! Given the fact that the entire island's production of this grade totals around 100 kilos, 10 kilos is the maximum allowed limit for export for each company. The wait time, documentation, travel, and difficulties make acquiring those 10 kilos an extremely hard and demanding task. This can be used as incense, raw material for making tinctures and perfumes, a natural remedy for botanists and herbal experts, and a collector's item that no collection is complete without.

Dragon Blood Extract Pure Oil: This is a pure steam-distilled oil from the Dragon Blood resin, unmixed and undiluted. Very powerful and strong in scent, while it can be used as a perfume, it is usually used as a flavoring element for perfumes, essential oils, herbal remedies, and other uses such as making incense for spiritual and religious ceremonies. Extremely rare and sought after not only because it's very hard to distill the Dragon Blood itself but also because it's even harder to do it in the original authentic way it was done centuries ago.

Dragon Blood Attar Perfume Oil: This is the ultimate Attar or perfume oil for those who want to use and enjoy the Dragon Blood in an authentic, real, and genuine way as a scent or perfume. Made with modern understanding and mixing/distillation methods, but without disregarding the authenticity and true spirit of the Dragon Blood, this oil was distilled and mixed with various roses from the island of Socotra. If the island had a spirit or flavor, this would be the ultimate scent for it.

For the optimal experience, we strongly recommend getting all three items to enjoy, experience, and sense the different styles and varieties of the material and scent. Dragon Blood is a rare, valuable, and extremely beneficial material that we want to shed light on and help bring more attention and appreciation to. Our goal of offering such a small amount for this price is not for profit but to share it with our clients and bring more understanding and appreciation to it.
