The reddish-brown resin of myrrh has been known and treasured for thousands of years. Its earthy, slightly smoky yet softly sweet aroma was present in temples, healers' workshops and along caravan routes. This essential oil blend brings the deep character of myrrh into the quiet of a modern home.
Details of the aroma profile
Earthy and slightly smoky notes lead the aroma of myrrh, with a softly sweet, balsamic base resting underneath. The overall impression feels serious and calm, like the warm inside of seasoned wood, yet never heavy. The fragrance unfolds slowly and gradually across the space.
How to bring it into your home
Add a few drops to the upper bowl of an oil burner with water, or directly to an ultrasonic diffuser. It also suits aroma stones and soapstone burners. During a quiet evening of reading, journalling or a long breathing practice you will appreciate its company.
When it helps most
It is most welcome when you wish to calm the daily rush and create a warmer, more intimate atmosphere. In times of grief, or during heavier emotional passages, many people find it a gentle, silent companion. On winter evenings, by a fireplace or candle, it shows itself most beautifully.
Where it comes from and what it contains
The blend is made in India, building on the country's rich tradition of resins and herbs. It contains natural essential oils that comply with the IFRA standard and arrives in a 10 ml glass bottle inside a cardboard box.
Storage and safe use
Keep it in a cool, dark place; after opening, the aroma stays fine for about two years. Keep out of reach of children and pets, and only use it in a well ventilated room. The oil is for diffusion, not for direct skin or mucous membrane contact.
