Essential Oil - Myrrh (Commiphora Myrrha)

Essential Oil - Myrrh (Commiphora Myrrha)

Myrrh Essential Oil by Arômes & Évasions™ is distilled from the rich, wildcrafted resin of the small, thorny Commiphora myrrha trees growing in the arid landscapes of Somalia.

Myrrh has a distinctive warm, sweet-earthy, smooth, dense and rich aroma with excellent fixative properties. Its deep resinous character makes it particularly valued in natural perfumery, incense-inspired compositions and aromatic blends.

Myrrh has an extensive history dating back thousands of years. Its aromatic resin has traditionally been used in perfumery, incense and ceremonial preparations across several ancient cultures. Today, its rich base-note character continues to make it a valued ingredient in perfumes, aromatic formulations and meditation-inspired blends.
