Myrrh

At Aimée de Mars, the resinoid and myrrh essence come from Somalia.

Myrrh trees are native to Somalia, Ethiopia, and South Africa. The dry, warm savannas provide the ideal climatic conditions for cultivating this tree.

In the past, myrrh was used for the gods. The resin was burned in churches to create fumigation. Myrrh was also used to purify homes.

  • ANTI-INFLAMMATORY

    Myrrh has antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties.

  • BACKGROUND NOTE

    The base notes provide the lasting trail of the perfume. They can be detected for up to 24 hours and are most often composed of vanilla and woody notes.

  • TEARS OF MYRRH

    After cutting into the tree, the resin will form myrrh tears that will harden and turn red when exposed to air. The tears are then collected using a sharp blade.
    Depending on the extraction method used, we can obtain either myrrh essential oil or a resinoid.
