Luxurious Ancient Resin Absolute

This exquisite Myrrh Absolute captures the timeless essence of one of nature's most treasured aromatic resins. Derived from the precious gum of the Commiphora myrrha tree, this concentrated solvent-extracted absolute delivers an extraordinarily rich, balsamic character with distinctive smoky undertones that has captivated perfumers and aromatherapists for millennia.

Presenting as a pourable deep amber-red liquid, this absolute offers an intensified aromatic experience far surpassing steam-distilled variants. The scent unfolds in layers — revealing warm liquorice-like sweetness intertwined with exotic oriental spice notes and an unmistakable resinous depth that anchors any fragrance composition.
