*** Production description ***
Sea-Kissed Myrrh was created at The Island Octopus Incensarium. Pure Myrrh gum-resin from Somalia is transformed using fresh sea water from the Gulf of Mexico, the Southwestern Florida sunlight, and coastal breezes. No additional ingredients, artificial dyes, or fragrances were used in the creation of this incense!
Our method for transforming the raw product into Sea-Kissed Myrrh brings out the best qualities of the incense. This form of Myrrh has a higher resin content, which allows for its therapeutic qualities to be released more readily when smoldered on charcoal along with less of a charred smell. By using the coastal elements to transform the raw gum-resin, a unique incense experience is created.
Commiphora erythraea info specifics: This species is my favorite of all of the "Opopanax" style Myrrhs. The transformation has brought out more of what I call the "apricot" aroma, and has really refined the raw form to have a much higher resin content. There is also a sharper character to this resin when compare to the raw form and other similar species. This is great to adding a fruity sweet and warm rich note to any blend. The Sea-Kissed version has become my go to resin when I am in need of a Commiphora resin.
