Product Overview

Myrrh Absolute Oil is a rich, deeply resinous botanical extract obtained via solvent extraction from the aromatic oleo-gum-resin tears of Commiphora myrrha. Revered since antiquity in sacred perfumery and traditional attar making, it offers a fuller, warmer, and smoother balsamic profile than steam-distilled myrrh essential oil—blending bitter-sweet licorice, warm smoky incense, earthy mushroom, leathery wood, and soft amber undertones. It serves as an exceptional base note and natural fixative in luxury perfumery.
