DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
Commiphora Guidottii Myrrh locally known as "Opopanax" is imported from Somalia. Commonly referred to as "sweet myrrh," the amazing aroma of the fresh resin has a sweet earthy scent that is both exotic and unique to this myrrh.
Traditionally, local medicine uses this species of myrrh for its antiseptic properties (in particular against intestinal infections) and relaxing, anti-inflammatory properties.
Opopanax comes in medium to large chunks and varies from a deep red ore color to reddish brown. The fragrance is strong, sweet and fruity with a subtle hint of earthy woodiness at times. We equate the raw scent to a finely aged sweet wine or sweet liquor. This is a truly exotic and special species of myrrh.
For use with charcoal burners.
