Description
Opoponax, or Sweet Myrrh, oil offers a rich, earthy, sweet, balsamic aroma with some woody nuances. Because the plant source is closely related, Opoponax shares many of the same properties as Myrrh. Many of our natural perfumers say Opoponax blends well with oriental, forest, leather, and floral aromas.
