    "Cedar," a Lebanese brand, is usually easy to find and very dependable in both orange and rose scents. Perfumey varieties can often be scents designed for soap or candle making that are totaly unsuited for cooking or baking.

      Kabul Farms on Parliament has it. You might want to read up on the different kinds, though. I recall that there can be big differences in quality. The one I bought is incredibly perfumey—almost too much.

        If you are any where near Kensington Market the little spice shop (can't remember the name) has that and all sorts.

        It is on Augusta and always burns frankensence out front.

          Not that hard to find these days. Try Loblaws or any shop with a Middle Eastern-Greek slant.
