Raw: Bitter-resinous and earthy, with medicinal depth, dry wood, and a faint leathery warmth. There is an austere quality to raw myrrh.

As Incense: When burned, myrrh releases a rich, smoky aroma. Dark, balsamic, and slightly animalic, softened by warmth and resinous sweetness. The smoke is grounding and enveloping, lingering low in the space with a sense of gravity and calm.

Myrrh has been revered across civilizations for over four thousand years. In Ancient Egypt it was used in embalming rites and sacred perfumes; in Greek and Roman medicine it was valued for its preservative and protective qualities. Across the Middle East and Horn of Africa, myrrh has long been burned to sanctify spaces, ward off negativity, and support contemplative practices.

In ritual use, myrrh is associated with grounding, protection, and inner stillness. It is often paired with frankincense, a light and shadow in balance, or blended with resins and woods for meditative, ancestral, or funerary incense compositions.
