Catholic church is the biggest buyer of frankincense...
When I was an altar boy a long time ago, it was pure myrrh who was used in the church but it's possible it became more and more expensive so they use a mix now.

Frankincense is very expensive also, about the same price...
Myrrh only? Was it a funeral?
Just the Sunday mass.
What plant exactly frankincense come from? When I try to translate in my own langage it's just a term used to describe all incenses and one time it refers to oilban so I'm a bit confused about its real nature;
Thank you that's what I was looking for, so frankincense refers to oliban, the Somalian incense.

Boswellia sacra - Wikipedia
Myrrh and frankincense are two aromatic resins that have been valued for centuries for their distinctive fragrances and uses in various cultural, medicinal, and religious contexts. Here are the key differences between the two:
Source
Myrrh: Myrrh is derived from the sap of trees belonging to the Commiphora species, particularly Commiphora myrrha.
Frankincense:
Frankincense is obtained from the sap of trees in the Boswellia genus, especially Boswellia sacra.
Appearance
Myrrh: Myrrh resin appears as reddish-brown or amber-colored lumps or tears. It has a rough, uneven texture.
Frankincense: Frankincense resin is generally pale yellow to golden in color, with a smoother texture and sometimes in the form of larger, more regular tears or chunks.
Aroma
Myrrh: Myrrh has a warm, slightly bitter, and earthy scent with hints of spice and balsamic undertones.
Frankincense: Frankincense has a sweet, woody, and slightly citrusy fragrance, often described as uplifting and more complex.

Nobody who smoked Bandaid Haze can tell me its church its straight camphory after burn ,I will call it Myrrah my cut of Jack is straight Church Frankeincense....few people that dont smoke at all when they smell fumes of burned Jack they say its exactly like Church Incense.
Bandaid smell much more piney compared to meaty Jack....meat hazes = frankie
Piney hazes = myrrah.
For people that dont have those resins and are not familiar with scents...frankie smell like Rosemary and Myrrah like Eucalyptus in genral.
