Myrrh EO
Used in 4 formulas
About this material
Myrrh essential oil opens with a rich, resinous warmth that has a slightly sweet, balsamic character. The scent develops into deeper, earthy notes with a hint of smokiness, creating a complex and meditative profile. In a formula, myrrh adds depth and a grounding quality, making it particularly effective in oriental and woody compositions. It pairs well with frankincense for a spiritual, incense-like effect, and can enhance the warmth of vanilla or amber notes. Typically used at around 1.000%, it provides a lasting presence without overwhelming other elements.
