Opoponax E.O (SOMALIA)
Adam Michael has this to say “Somalian opoponax essential oil, also known as sweet myrrh, exudes a toffee sweet, fruit spicy, sticky resinous warm, salty, leathery aroma with white wine and chocolate nuances and all of incredible tenacity.
Unlike the absolute we offer this opoponax essential oil is of a very liquid and pourable viscosity, amber in colour and produced by steam distilling the resin. In natural perfumery opoponax is used in chypre, fougere, leather bases, oriental bouquets, heavy-floral perfumes and pairs beautifully with frankincense, amber and bergamot naturals. The major constituents are trans beta ocimene and trans-alpha-bisabolene accounting for nearly 75% of this material.
Plus this aromatic is sourced directly from the exact same producer in Somalia that supply to the famous corporate producer/resellers in France. As such you can save up to 50% in costs when you purchase the wholesale weights we offer for sale compared with the prices our fellow respected competitors charge for the same weights.”

A heady, airy aroma but with a mineralistic and resinous back-note. To me it smells like a clean dishwasher that has just been opened, or bath sea salts bubbling in a jacuzzi. There is an overwhelming sense of purity and cleanliness when you inhale this aroma that makes you want more!

– This sweet myrrh e/o begin like a varnish smell – somewhat similar to tarpentine smell, I remember some carpenters used in our old house in the mid-1980s.
– It then quickly becomes warm – quite myrrh like. But it is wamer and more rounded than the myrrh e/o I bought from here.
– Initially, the smell has some flinty quality accompanying some spicy vibes too. By flinty, I mean it’s progression have some discordance at the start but it quickly goes away and presents it’s beautiful warm, incensy and resinous quality. It remains so till the end.
– In some cases, it can be used to ‘fix’ some compositional mistakes.
– A fantastic material. 5/5

Sweet warm, mesmerizing and resinous, it is sticky in a non literal way that it grabs your attention in a subtle manner, to my mind the smell is feminine, slender like a ballerina.
