Ethiopian Myrrh

Ethiopian myrrh, derived from the resin of the Commiphora myrrha tree native to Ethiopia, is a fragrant substance treasured for its unique aroma and historical significance. Ethiopian myrrh distinguishes itself with a warm, slightly musty scent that combines earthy, woody, and balsamic notes, making it intriguing and soothing. The aroma is complex, featuring a spicy almost peppery undertone, and a hint of a medicinal, cool quality, which can be attributed to its high eugenol content. This resin is often used in incense and perfumery, valued not only for its evocative fragrance but also for its presumed therapeutic properties, including anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects. When burned as incense, Ethiopian myrrh releases a rich, dense smoke that is deeply calming and is said to promote a meditative state. Its scent profile is rounded, full-bodied, with lingering sweet and smokey traces, ideal for spiritual and relaxation purposes.
