Myrrh is a deep aromatic resin from Commiphora myrrha, known for its bitter-balsamic warmth, earthy depth, and sacred smoky character. Heated on charcoal or a resin warmer, it creates a slow, ancient-feeling ritual atmosphere with a dry, resinous trail.

Origin: Myrrh comes from Commiphora myrrha, a resin-producing tree native to parts of the Horn of Africa and the southern Arabian Peninsula. Long valued in incense, temple, and burial traditions, myrrh has been used for thousands of years for its solemn, balsamic smoke and ritual depth.

The Resin: Natural myrrh resin pieces from Commiphora myrrha. This oleo-gum resin hardens into reddish-brown aromatic pieces and releases a bitter, balsamic, earthy smoke when warmed, 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 myrrh 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 Myrrh resin sourcing with careful resin-harvest practices. Because Myrrh resin comes from tapped Commiphora myrrha trees, our focus is material identity, measured collection, and handling that respects tree health and long-term regeneration.

Aroma Profile

Bitter-balsamic, earthy, and warm, with dry resin, soft spice, and a solemn smoky trail. Myrrh feels darker and more meditative than frankincense, adding weight, stillness, and ancient ritual depth to the room.

Inside the Aroma

Myrrh resin is known for furanosesquiterpenes such as furanoeudesma-1,3-diene, curzerene, isofuranodiene, and lindestrene. These aromatic compounds help shape its bitter-balsamic warmth, dry earthiness, and softly medicinal resin character. Some are studied in aroma and phytochemical research, but OLFA presents them only as part of myrrh’s natural scent profile, 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.
