Description
Opopanax Essential Oil is an opulent, mystical resin distilled from the dried gummy resin of the Bissabol tree (Commiphora erythraea). Revered for its warm, toffee-sweet, leathery aroma, Opopanax is a prized balsamic base note in perfumery, perfect for amber fragrances, musky florals, and leathery colognes.
Energetically, Opopanax is calming and grounding, encouraging release of resistance, spiritual alignment, and connection to the universe. A single inhalation can center the mind, soothe nerves, and elevate meditation practices.

“If there is but little difference in odour between myrrh and Opopanax, the vegetable soup-like slightly animal-sweet odour of Opopanax oil is entirely different from the medicinal-sharp freshness of myrrh oil.”
– Steffen Arctander, Perfume and Flavour Materials of Natural Origin
“Opopanax is thought by some authorities to be the myrrh of the Bible… The resin forms in small spherical tears which are shiny and fragile.”
– Jill Jesse, Perfume Album
“And suddenly, my soul lay bare… In odors of Opopanax!”
– Rebecca Linley Fripp, Odors of Opopanax
