Myrrh Resin Incense 50g

A charcoal ember, a small piece of myrrh resin, and then the slow unfurling of deep, smoky fragrance. This myrrh resin incense is made for people who prefer the older, quieter way of scenting a room, without a stick or cone, just resin warmed until it turns to aromatic smoke.

The slow scent of myrrh on charcoal

• The fragrance is smoky and resinous, with a darker character that asks for a little more attention than everyday incense.
• As the resin warms, the scent builds gradually rather than arriving all at once.
• It suits an evening pause, a still corner, or a room prepared with care before guests arrive.
• Loose resin gives you control: use a small pinch for a softer scent, or blend with other resins on the same heat source.
• The preparation is part of the experience, from lighting the charcoal to watching the surface ash over before adding the resin.

Myrrh resin, ready for loose incense burning

This is myrrh resin incense from India, supplied as loose resin for use with a charcoal disc or an electric incense heater. It does not self-light like an incense stick, so it needs a separate heat source and a heat-proof burner.

How to burn resin incense safely

Place a charcoal disc in a heat-proof incense holder, ideally over sand or ash to help absorb heat. Hold the charcoal with tongs while lighting it, then wait until the surface begins to turn grey around the edges.

Add a small pinch of resin on top of the hot charcoal. Use sparingly at first, as loose resin can produce a full, lingering smoke. Keep the burner on a stable, heat-safe surface and allow everything to cool completely before handling or emptying.

Myrrh in incense tradition

Myrrh has been valued for centuries as an aromatic tree resin, used in religious, ceremonial and perfumery traditions across the Middle East, North Africa and beyond. Its appeal lies in the transformation: a hard resin bead softens with heat, then releases a dark, contemplative smoke. In churches, temples and home fragrance practice, myrrh is often chosen for its solemn, grounding scent, especially when a slower and more atmospheric form of incense is wanted.

Size and details

You receive one tub of myrrh resin incense, approximately 50 g. The weight may vary slightly between 45 g and 50 g.

A gift for lovers of old-style incense

This suits someone who already enjoys incense and wants to explore loose resin burning. It is a thoughtful choice for a calm home corner, a scent collector, or anyone drawn to deeper, smoky fragrance.

Common questions

Can I mix myrrh with other resins?
Yes. Loose resins are often blended in small amounts on the same charcoal disc or heater. Start with very little, then adjust the mixture once you know how each resin behaves with heat.

Is resin incense the same as stick incense?
No. Stick incense is designed to burn on its own once lit. Resin incense needs a lit charcoal disc or an electric incense heater to release its fragrance.
