Like frankincense, myrrh is resin from trees that grow primarily in parts of Arabia and Africa. Myrrh resin, however, has a fragrance completely different from frankincense—warm, earthy, spicy and slightly bitter (the word "myrrh" in fact comes from a Hebrew root meaning "bitter"). For centuries, myrrh has been used in the worship of God, often being combined with frankincense, to which it makes an excellent complement.
These multi-colored resins are processed by the monks, to rid them of obvious impurities and break them down to a small enough size for easy burning.

PLEASE NOTE: Because High Grade Myrrh is processed by hand, orders may take an additional 3-4 days before being ready to ship.
Ok so I left a negative review before saying it smelled terrible. I was not using it correctly, I was basically roasting it. I'm using it now with a coal with a lot of ash mixed with their royal green frankensense. It smells really good. Both of them. It doesn't smell totally burnt like mildew or mothballs. So be sure not to get impatient and use low heat
It smells like burning mildew and electrical fire. Everyone that smelled it says they don't like it. After the initial smell goes away it smells like burnt mothballs and everyone agrees about the mildew smell.
The myrrh is best used in combination with some variety of frankincense resin, to provide a warm, earthy complement to the frankincense's bright, citrusy notes. For the best results burning it, the charcoal should be allowed to cool a bit and form a layer of ash on top, to prevent the resin from becoming charred.
When I smelled it in the hallway outside our chapel, I thought there was an electrical fire. Smells like hot rubber. No one here likes it.

Fantastic
Wonderful, natural scent, reminiscent of the gifts offered to Christ by the wise men.
