A quiet evening moment, a lit charcoal disc, and within a few seconds the deep, traditional fragrance of myrrh fills the room. Solid incense resin is a mature home ritual: not an incense stick, not a cone, but the pure resin heated directly to give a deeper, richer scent experience.
Myrrh — an ancient spiritual fragrance
Myrrh is one of humanity's oldest known incense materials: for thousands of years it has been present in spiritual, healing and purifying rituals. Its aroma is deeply resinous, slightly earthy and balsamic, with a faint bitter undertone — a kind of meditative, concentrated character. It fits a longer home ritual, an evening of quieting down or a meditation practice deeply. The warm, slow smoke softly fills the space and is persistently present.
How to use it
Using solid incense resin requires a charcoal disc, available separately for incense resins. Light the charcoal in a heat-resistant vessel (a resin burner, a metal dish, a ceramic ash bowl) on a sand layer, wait until it reaches a glowing state with a whitish-grey layer (approx. 2-3 minutes), and place a small piece of resin on top. Heat slowly causes the resin to smoke and release its fragrance. A small piece lasts approximately 30-40 minutes.
Tips
- Always use a heat-resistant vessel on a sand layer — the charcoal becomes very hot.
- Ventilate a little during and after use — solid resin gives a stronger fragrance than a stick.
- Store any unused resin in a sealed package, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
