One of the Oldest Recorded Sacred Resins, in a Roll-On
Myrrh (Commiphora myrrha) has one of the longest documented histories of any aromatic substance on earth. Ancient Egyptian priests used it in embalming and temple rites. It appears in the Hebrew Bible, the Christian Gospels, and across Ayurvedic texts as a medicinal and ceremonial resin. For millennia it was traded alongside frankincense along the incense routes of the Arabian Peninsula, and the two resins have traveled together through human ritual ever since. I stock this oil because that history deserves a form people can actually wear.
The scent profile is earthy and resinous with a dark, balsamic depth and a slight bitter edge that keeps it from tipping into sweetness. It doesn’t announce itself the way a floral perfume does. Myrrh opens quietly and settles into the skin, becoming something that smells ancient and grounded rather than loud. This is a fragrance oil inspired by that resin — not an extracted essential oil, and not the raw resin itself. Auric Blends captures the character of myrrh in a skin-safe carrier that holds well through the day.
If you’re drawn to frankincense, myrrh is its natural companion — the darker, more introspective half of a classic pairing. This bottle carries pure myrrh. There’s also a Frankincense and Myrrh combination oil in the Escential Essences line if you want both in one blend, but I think myrrh alone is worth getting to know on its own terms first.
How to Use Myrrh Fragrance Oil
Three ways to get the most from your Myrrh Escential Essences fragrance oil.
- Apply to pulse points
Apply the roll-on to pulse points like your wrists, throat, or inner elbows. Myrrh carries warm and resinous, so a little goes a long way. Start with one or two passes and let the oil settle before adding more.
- Breathe in and set your intention
Hold your wrists together and breathe in the scent slowly. Myrrh is grounding by nature, so use this moment to set your intention before a ritual, meditation, or prayer. Inhale for a count of four, then exhale.
- Layer for complexity or pair with frankincense
Layer this oil under a lighter floral or citrus perfume oil if you want complexity. Myrrh acts as a natural fixative, helping other scents stay on skin longer. Try it alongside frankincense for a classic sacred pairing.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
Auric Blends has been making the Escential Essences line for decades, and the consistency is part of why I carry them. These aren’t oils that shift from bottle to bottle or batch to batch. The formulas are stable, the scent stays true, and the roll-on format is practical enough for daily use without ceremony. I’ve found that customers who pick up one Escential Essences oil tend to come back for others, because the line delivers what it promises without overstating anything.
One practical note: this is a fragrance oil in a skin-safe carrier, not an aromatherapy essential oil. It isn’t designed for diffusers or oil burners — it’s formulated for the skin. If you have sensitive skin, do a patch test on your inner arm and wait 24 hours before applying more broadly. The roll-on makes this easy to control.
