Description
Opoponax -- also known as Sweet Myrrh -- is a base note essential oil and is known as the "Myrrh of antiquity". It's aroma is dry, earthy and sweet, with lavender-like undertones.
Opoponax Essential Oil is derived from a natural resin produced in a healthy Commiphora Erythrea tree, native to East Africa.

The oil can be applied topically in small amounts diluted in carrier oil to help fight infection and relieve sore muscles and joints. For many centuries, Opoponax Essential Oil has been used in perfumery and for treating wounds and clearing respiratory congestion.
Perfumery Note: Middle
Aroma: Balsamic, Bittersweet, Earthy, and Honey-like
