Guggul is a dense aromatic resin from Commiphora wightii, traditionally known as Indian bdellium. Heated on charcoal or a resin warmer, it releases a warm, earthy, musky smoke with balsamic depth and a soft, ancient incense character.

Origin: Guggul comes from Commiphora wightii, a resin-producing shrub native to arid regions of India, Pakistan, and Oman. Traditionally used in Indian incense and ritual practices, its resin is valued for a deep, earthy-balsamic smoke with a dense and grounding presence.

The Resin: Natural guggul resin pieces from Commiphora wightii, also known by the synonym Commiphora mukul. This oleo-gum resin is rich, dense, and earthy, releasing a warm balsamic smoke when gently heated, without added fragrance or synthetic perfume.

OLFA: We select natural aromatic materials for their depth, character, and ability to transform the atmosphere of a space. This guggul resin reflects our approach to ritual scent: raw, elemental, and rooted in traditional incense materials, presented with a modern and refined sensibility.

Sourcing & Ethics

OLFA works to align Guggul resin sourcing with careful resin-harvest practices. Because Guggul resin comes from tapped *Commiphora wightii* trees, our focus is material identity, measured collection, and handling that respects tree health and long-term regeneration.

Aroma Profile

Warm, earthy, musky, and balsamic, with a dense resin body and a slightly sweet, smoky finish. Guggul feels heavy and grounding, with a deeper, more resinous character than bright frankincense or clean copal.

Inside the Aroma

Guggul resin is associated with aromatic compounds such as myrcene, dimyrcene, polymyrcene, limonene, α-pinene, linalool, cineole, and α-terpineol. These help shape its earthy-musky body, soft balsamic warmth, and subtle herbal brightness. Some are studied for their interaction with mood, and sensory perception, but OLFA presents them only as part of the resin’s natural aromatic character, not as a medical or therapeutic claim.

Use & Care

How to Use

1. Place the stick in a suitable incense holder on a heat-resistant surface that catches ash.

2. Light the tip of the incense stick until it flames. Once the tip is glowing, carefully blow out the flame and allow the incense to smolder.

3. Burn in a well-ventilated space, away from strong drafts, for a steady burn and balanced scent diffusion.

4. To stop earlier, press or break the glowing tip on a heat-resistant surface until fully extinguished.

5. Allow ash to cool completely before disposal.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, humidity, and strong surrounding odors. Keep the box closed when not in use to preserve the aroma.

Safety

For aromatic use only. Do not ingest. Burn incense in a well-ventilated space. Never leave burning incense unattended. Keep away from flammable materials, curtains, clothing, liquids, children, and pets. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.
