Opoponax Oil
warm balsamic honey-like aroma
Opoponax oil, also known as sweet myrrh oil, is a cousin of the healing Myrrh oil with a warm-balsamic and sweet, honey-like aroma.
Description
Opoponax and Myrrh oil are extracted by the sweet gum produced by the bark of Commiphora species, however, Opoponax Oil tends to smell lighter, more powdery, sweeter and warmer.
Native to East Africa, the dried resin, forming dark-reddish brown droplets that produce a sweet and robust-like aroma, is put through a steam distillation method to capture the Opoponax oil: a clear, pale yellow and thin essential oil.
Opoponax has been a component of incense and perfumes since Biblical times. Is said that its earthy aroma, rich of intoxicating woody nuances, can help us find stillness and calm.
Today is largely used in perfumery: Opoponax qualities are widely used in oriental fragrances to impart sweet balsamic notes due to its resinous, ancient-earthy and deep aroma.
