Myrrh
Myrrh has a bitter, slightly woody and medicinal aroma that is very similar to the smell of balloons. Myrrh is used as a base note in Oriental compositions. It sweetens as it dries down and has a soft scent with a mild diffusiveness. Myrrh, along with frankincense, is one of the most ancient perfume ingredients in the world. It was used as a religious incense, an aphrodisiac unguent and also to fill mummies in Ancient Egypt. It is extracted as an oil from the resin tears of the myrrh bush – a dessert tree native to African and Arabia.
