The Material
Hand-tapped Commiphora myrrha from the highlands of Yemen - small thorny trees that release an amber gum when their bark is cut, drying into the dark reddish-brown chunks the trade has called myrrh for three thousand years. Dense, balsamic, slightly bitter on the nose. The Arabic name murr means "bitter" - the same root carries through Aramaic and Akkadian. The name is the description.

Worth knowing
Myrrh is a grounding scent without much joy in it, but a quiet kind of presence - the resin people have reached for at gatherings where words feel insufficient. Burned alongside frankincense across Arabian, mediterranean, and Christian traditions for over three thousand years. The bitterness is the description: the Arabic murr means exactly that.
This Product
Myrrh is a grounding scent without much joy in it, but a quiet kind of presence - the resin people have reached for at gatherings where words feel insufficient. Burned alongside frankincense across Arabian, Mediterranean, and Christian traditions.
The companion to frankincense for as long as anyone has burned either. Where frankincense lifts a room, myrrh deepens it. The two together carry an older register - slower, balsamic, dense, asking the room to slow down with them.
The Arabic name murr means "bitter," and the same root carries through Aramaic and Akkadian. The name has been the description for over three thousand years, across every language that has handled the resin.
This Resin, with its formula enriched with high quality extracts, your home relieves and makes you feel fresh with its pleasant smell.
Directions: Do not inhale the smoke directly.
Warnings: For external use only.
Keep out of reach of children and pets.
How to use
Light a charcoal disc until edges glow grey-white (30–45 seconds).
Place a single piece on the warm charcoal.
The aroma is slow to release - wait the first minute, then the bitter-balsamic depth opens steadily.
Let the burner cool fully before clearing.
Burn in a ventilated room. Keep away from soft furnishings.
