What got me really interested in it a few years ago was learning its role during The Plague.
I'd known that those "born sucking a silver spoon" (technically meaning the wealthy) were immune- makes sense with the healing qualities of silver we know now.
But in my Plague research for a book/game series I'm working on, I learned that Co co Channel and another perfume I can't recall atm still use frankincense due to the fact women who wore those blends never fell victim to the Plague.
Ha! I did not know that! You learn something new every day! haha!
