Two of the Oldest Sacred Resins, in One Bottle
Frankincense (Boswellia sacra/carterii) and myrrh (Commiphora myrrha) are not just scents. They’re two of the oldest recorded trade goods in human history, moving along caravan routes from the Arabian Peninsula and the Horn of Africa into every major religious and ceremonial tradition the ancient world produced. Egyptian kyphi blends used them. Abrahamic liturgical traditions burned them together. Ceremonial magicians in the Western tradition catalogued them in grimoires. The combination carries real historical weight, and I think that matters when you’re choosing a fragrance to work with.
Frankincense alone reads dry and elevated, with a citrus-resinous opening that softens into a clean, woody depth. Myrrh moves in the opposite direction: darker, balsamic, and faintly bitter-sweet in a way that anchors everything around it. Together they produce a classic temple incense accord, the kind that signals focused, grounded sacred work rather than sweetness or floral notes. It’s not subtle, and it’s not trying to be. This is a pairing with a purpose.
This is a fragrance oil inspired by those resins, not a steam-distilled essential oil extract. Auric Blends formulates the Escential Essences line in the USA using cosmetic-grade, skin-safe carrier oils, so you can wear it directly or use it in ritual work without additional dilution. If you’re looking for actual frankincense or myrrh essential oil for aromatherapy or diffuser use, I carry those separately. What this oil does is different: it brings the scent signature of that ancient pairing into a portable, wearable form that you can carry with you or apply at the altar.
How to Use Frankincense and Myrrh Fragrance Oil
Three ways to get the most from this Auric Blends Escential Essences fragrance oil.
- Apply to Pulse Points for Personal Wear
Roll a small amount onto your wrists or pulse points. Let it settle for a moment before you layer anything else on top. Fragrance oils interact with body chemistry, so give it ten minutes to open up before you judge the dry-down.
- Use in Ritual and Consecration Work
Apply the oil to the corners of your prayer book, the base of a candle, or the rim of an offering bowl. The classic temple pairing of frankincense and myrrh carries centuries of use in consecration work and does its job quietly.
- Store It Correctly to Protect the Scent
Keep the bottle upright and out of direct sunlight. Fragrance oils can shift in scent profile if stored warm or exposed to UV light for extended periods. A drawer or cabinet at room temperature is enough to protect it.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
I stock the Auric Blends Escential Essences line because the formulas are consistent from batch to batch, and the roll-on packaging is actually functional rather than decorative. The 1/2 oz size is small enough to keep in a bag or on an altar tray without dominating the space. The cosmetic-grade formulation is a real practical detail: it means you can apply this directly to skin without needing to check a dilution ratio first, which is not true of all oils sold for ritual use. One honest note: the scent is strong at initial application, especially if you’re used to lighter fragrances. A single roll goes further than you’d expect. Start with less and add more if you want a fuller presence.
