Frequently asked questions

Some questions and answers are automatically generated.

How does Omumbiri smell compared to frankincense?

Many reviewers describe it as very similar to frankincense despite being from the Myrrh family—sweeter and lighter than typical myrrh. Several note citrus notes, honey, and a musky dry-down that frankincense typically lacks, making it a unique variant with its own character.

Is the oil pourable or thick?

The oil is liquid and pourable. One reviewer specifically noted it as "a pourable myrrh that doesn't clog a pipette," which is a practical advantage over traditional thick myrrh oils.

What are the main scent notes?

Reviewers pick up sweet citrus, honey, musky undertones, and hints of incense or camphor. The scent evolves with time—initial top notes (citrus, sweetness) gradually give way to a warmer, musk-like dry-down reminiscent of the product description's "warm animal fur" note.

How versatile is this oil for blending?

Reviewers confirm it works well in blends, and several mention using it in castile soap, hand sanitizer, insect repellent, and hair products, suggesting broad utility beyond aromatherapy alone.

Does the scent change over time?

Yes. The product description notes the aroma will continue to mature, deepen, and evolve with time, and one reviewer observed the scent shifts from an initial "cordial syrup" quality to a more complex profile on closer inspection.

Is this oil good quality for the price?

Multiple reviewers highlight excellent quality, and note that "a little dab goes a long way," suggesting good value despite the small bottle size some customers mentioned as a surprise.

Traditionally, the women of the Himba tribe in Northern Namibia collect and use the fragrant resin of Omumbiri to perfume themselves.
The resin is blended with Ochre and fats and applied to the skin and hair.

Commiphora wildii is processed at a community co-op facility that pays the women on the spot for their resins. Profits from the sale of the essential oil go back into the community.

Omumbiri resin is collected from the trees and ground without tapping or damaging the trees in any way, making it perfectly sustainable.

While Myrhh is often a bitter, thick, dark essential oil with a scent that conveys its potent bitterness, Omumbiri is translucent and mobile with a delightful airy, soothing, sweet citrus scent and a light, dry note of mint.
After dry-down, the top notes recede to reveal a soft, musk-like scent reminiscent of warm animal fur.

The aroma of Omumbiri Essential oil, like many other essential oils distilled from resins, will continue to mature, deepen and evolve with time.
