Commiphora Ornifolia resin comes from the island of Socotra via Yemen where it is used as an incense material and in traditional medicine.This is a very special resin and a unique opportunity to try something that is rarely available while we have it in stock.

This one is not distilled or solvent extracted. Thi resin melts literally disolve overnight  very much like Socotran Frankincense Elongata resin do, but his is the Myrrh version! It is wonderful and so much fun to make this crafted sweet myrrh oil. We recharge the resin seven (7) time when each batch of resin has dissolved into fat base oil (FCO). Then we allow it to marinate for another 49 days add one last batch of resin to dissolve overnight and then strain any small particles of wood from all the resins dissolved and we have a lovely aromatic sweet myrrh maceration essential oil.

This resin is not commercially harvested for export, but collected for local use in southern Yemen for medicinal purposes or for incense. To the best of my knowledge the resin is a natural exudate which means  is collected without stressing the trees. It is a unique find for those who appreciate the rare and unusual.

Commiphora Ornifolia resin has a similar stickiness to its cousins in Egypt and India, Commiphora Mukul, AKA Gugal, which is used extensively in Ayurvedic formulas. The tree can be recognized by its twisted shape and grey bark, which can be peeled in large pieces. It reaches 8 metres in height. Its leaves have deep green colour and its flowers grow in raceme-like cyme and are, unlike the flowers of desert rose, inconspicuous. They are very common on Socotra and can be found especially in bushy areas and among the shedding trees that grow in the areas from 0 to 800 metres above the sea level.

Some perfumers say about C. Ornifolia being that it isvery much like a blend of Frankincense and Myrrh.  When burned as Incense, C. Ornifolia burns with a sweet bitter balsamic a bit salty spice which will bring to memoryof the smell of fresh-made exotic confection of sugary toffee and a deep caramel sweet warm aroma wafting through the narrow cobbled alleys and lanes of an open-air shuk in the middle eatern desert towm or city.

Though it may be compared to a blend of Frankincense and Myrrh, one can also say with certainty it smells nothing like the blend. Excellant for pian, skincare, woundcare, incense, depression, and other brain issues.
