Somalian Myrrh Absolute

Somalian myrrh absolute is a highly aromatic resin extracted from the Commiphora myrrha tree, native to Somalia and parts of the Arabian Peninsula. The resin, harvested by making incisions in the tree's bark, hardens into reddish-brown 'tears' and is then steam-distilled or solvent-extracted to produce the absolute. Somalian myrrh absolute is cherished in the fragrance industry for its rich, warm, and balsamic scent profile, characterized by earthy, woody, and slightly spicy notes with a resinous undertone that can also display hints of licorice.

This absolute is particularly esteemed for adding depth and a hint of mystique to perfumery compositions. It pairs well with woody, spicy, or oriental notes, making it a popular choice in the creation of incense fragrances, men's colognes, and luxurious scents aiming for a grounding, soothing effect. The scent not only provides an olfactory appeal but is also believed to offer aromatherapeutic benefits such as promoting relaxation and spiritual tranquility.
