Myrrh
Commiphora myrrha
Darker than frankincense, warm and balsamic.
Myrrh is the darker resin, warm and balsamic with a faint bitterness. It deepens a resinous blend and gives it weight.
The source
East African resin
Myrrh is the darker companion to frankincense, the resin hand-tapped from low, thorny trees in the dry country of Somalia and traded since antiquity. Steam-distilled from the resin, it is warm and balsamic, with weight.
