Rare to find on the market, Holziana Myrrh has an ocean almost sweet seaweed-like aroma which really separates it from other Myrrh cousins. Yet there is a hint of the classic myrrh as well hidden in its notes of fragrance.
The unique aspect of Holziana Myrrh is the unusual blue colouring of its bark. Its been sighted a master in the trade of fragrant resin, that these blue-barked trees are all over the landscape of Northern Kenya. When I first smelled the resin, I was very surprised by its incredible aroma profile. Just Gorgeous is a must-have in your perfume tool kit.
The name “Myrrh” originated in the ancient Aramaic, Hebrew language as the word for bitter, and is an Arabic word for “bitter”, Mar-מר. The name Mary, or Miriam in Hebrew, Mar-Yam, (מר’ם), its shoesh (root) is derived from this word and means the salt of the seas or bitterness of the waters, both plural; not referring to sweet waters but to salty bitter waters. I can see why this myrrh resin is known as Miriam’s tears.
Scriptural texts of Myrrh in the Torah/Bible **** Exodus 30:23, Esther 2:12 ; Psalms 45:8 ; Proverbs 7:17 Genesis 37:25 ; 43:11
