Opoponax

25 perfumes

Opoponax, or sweet myrrh, is a resin harvested from the Commiphora erythraea tree. Its olfactive profile is deeply balsamic, offering a honeyed, warm, and slightly medicinal sweetness with earthy, leathery undertones. Primarily a base note, it provides exceptional longevity and a velvety, resinous depth to compositions. In the Gulf market, it is cherished for its ability to anchor complex oriental blends, often harmonizing beautifully with oud and amber to create a rich, opulent sillage that resonates with traditional incense culture.
