A pairing as old as incense itself. Resinous frankincense brings its lightly citrusy smoke while myrrh adds a darker, balsamic depth underneath. Earthy and meditative, it conjures the quiet of a candlelit sanctuary, with smoldering resin drifting on the air. A traditional pick from our holiday scent collection.

The blend features frankincense and myrrh.

What does Frankincense and Myrrh smell like?

Two resins and nothing else. Frankincense is the lighter of the pair, with a faint citrus brightness and a soft, smoky lift. Myrrh sits underneath, darker and balsamic, sweet and slightly bitter at once. Together they smell like incense drifting through a quiet room or an old stone church at Christmas: warm, resinous and calm.

Where it fits

Frankincense and myrrh have been part of the Christmas story from the start, as two of the three gifts of the Magi, so it is a natural for the season. But it is really a year-round scent for slowing down: meditation, prayer, yoga, journaling, or a reading chair at the end of the day.
