Myrrh resin is a gift from the ancient world, a treasure as valued as gold by the Romans and cherished for its profound spiritual and therapeutic properties. Harvested from the low-growing Commiphora myrrha tree, this reddish-brown resin hardens from a fragrant, viscous gum. Its signature scent—deep, smoky, and earthy—has scented holy rites, anointed kings, and been a cornerstone of incense and perfume since 3000 BCE, including in the legendary Egyptian Kyphi.
