Opoponax
“Sweet, balsamic resin with a warm, honeyed depth — softer and sweeter than myrrh.”
Opoponax is a dark, sweet-myrrhic resin smelling of warm balsam, honey and mysterious depth. In perfumery it is a cornerstone of classic oriental compositions, adding sweet, dark resinous richness. In Indian winters, opoponax's warm darkness is enveloping and luxurious. In summer, too heavy. The sweet heart of darkness.
