Frequently asked questions

Some questions and answers are automatically generated.

How does this myrrh smell compared to regular myrrh?

Reviewers consistently describe Ornifolia Myrrh as distinctly unique—complex, subtle, and different from standard myrrh varieties. Many note sweet, fruity, and warm spice notes reminiscent of caramel, vanilla, berries, and confections, with some detecting hints of citrus. One reviewer noted it smells like neither frankincense nor myrrh despite comparisons to both, while another found it richer and more complex, revealing new dimensions in their appreciation of myrrh generally.

What is the texture like when you burn it?

Multiple reviewers describe the resin as very sticky and soft. According to the product description, it does not melt into coals or pool on the burner due to the presence of water-soluble gum, making it practical for burning on heaters, tealites, or charcoal without excessive mess.

Does it work well on an electric heater?

Yes—many reviewers specifically praise it on electric heaters. One noted it produces aromas reminiscent of fresh-made exotic confections, while another observed that careful heating reveals subtle, complex scent notes. Reviewers also report success burning it on charcoal and tealite candles.

Can you blend this with other scents?

Yes. The product description notes it can be compounded with powdered aromatics and essential oils to prepare incense pellets and pastilles, where its sticky texture helps soften harsher notes and balance compositions. One reviewer successfully combined it with frankincense infusing into warm oil.

How fresh and potent is this resin?

Reviewers consistently emphasize freshness, potency, and fragrance quality. Several describe it as 'super fresh,' 'very fragrant,' and having 'wonderful potency.' Multiple reviewers note the resin is sticky and rich in aromatic oils, and commend both the quality and care evident in the seller's sourcing and packaging.

Is this suitable for burning on charcoal?

Yes. Several reviewers report success burning it on both charcoal and beeswax tealite candles. One noted that on charcoal it was 'really nice' with a complex, pleasant aroma. The product description confirms it is used as an incense material.

Where does this myrrh come from?

This resin is Commiphora Ornifolia from the island of Socotra via Yemen, where it is used traditionally as an incense material and in traditional medicine. According to the product description, it is not commercially harvested but collected for local use, and is a natural exudate gathered without stressing the trees.

Will everyone enjoy this scent?

While all reviewers rate it 5 stars and most express enthusiasm, one reviewer noted they are not personally a fan of the particular smell, though they acknowledged the high quality of the resin and their husband's love for it. Scent preference is subjective, so sampling if possible may be wise.

This is an exceptional resin and a unique opportunity to try something that is rarely available while I have it in the shop.

Until recently I had not heard of Ornifolia Myrrh resin. And I've been around for a while...
This resin is not commercially harvested but collected for local use in southern Yemen. To the best of my knowledge, the resin is a natural exudate that is collected without stressing the trees.
It is a unique find for those who appreciate the rare and unusual.

From what I gather, in Yemen, this Ornifolia Myrrh resin is boiled in milk and consumed before bed to alleviate digestive issues.

Commiphora Ornifolia resin has a similar stickiness to its cousin in India, Commiphora Mukul, AKA Gugal, which is used extensively in Ayurvedic medicine.

I have heard of C. Ornifolia being likened to a blend of Frankincense and Myrrh. On the electric heater, C. Ornifolia burns with a sweet/salty spiciness that reminds me of the smell of fresh-made exotic confections wafting through the narrow cobbled alleys and lanes of an open-air soukh in some faraway land.

Though it may be compared to a blend of Frankincense and Myrrh, one can also say with certainty that it smells like neither.

Sticky Ornifolia Myrrh resin can be burned on its own or compounded with powdered aromatics and essential oils to prepare incense pellets and pastilles where it may soften harsher notes and help to balance a composition.

Like many other Myrrh types, it does not melt into the coal or pool on the burner due to the presence of water-soluble gum.
