Myrrh oil is usually a base note in perfumes. The fragrance is a woody note with aspects of resin and spice. It fits in oriental scents and goes very nicely with oud / agar wood. It has a drying effect on balsamic scents, such as vanilla. In addition, it offers a nice counterbalance to fresh spicy scents such as lavender.
It is an almost 100% pure essential oil, with the exception of the small amount (typically 0.002%) of hexane that remains during the extraction of the oil.
Myrrh oil is flammable harmful if swallowed, and harmful to the environment. It contains no common allergens except for a small amount (< 0.1%) limonene, so an allergic reaction is not very likely.
