From the makers of Hammeacher Schlemmer's We Three Kings Gift:
"Gold- the Gift given by Melchior, a king of Arabia. He is said to have been the oldest of the Three Kings... Frankincense- the Gift given by Balthasar, a king from Saba- present day Yemen. Frankincense is resin from the dried sap of the Boswellia tree- a tree that has grown on the craggy slopes of the Arabian Sea for thousands of years. In ancient times Frankincense and Gold were equally precious. Myrrh- the Gift given by Caspar, a king from Tarsus- present day southern Turkey. Myrrh is also a resin used as incense but with a bitter fragrance. In ancient times, the finest Myrrh came from southern Arabia."
