Oils that Blend Well with Myrrh Essential Oil

Myrrh can be categorized as one of the wood essential oils. The smoky, dry
aroma of Myrrh oil is rather unique; however, the woody and herbaceous

notes of the oil allow it to blend well with spicy, floral, or citrus essential oils.
Try blending Myrrh oil with any warm, spicy oil like Frankincense,
Sandalwood, or Clove. For an intriguing, fresh scent, blend Myrrh with floral

or leafy oils like Lavender, Eucalyptus, or Jasmine. When you want to
produce a sweet, herbaceous scent, consider blending Myrrh

with Lemon, Juniper Berry, or Grapefruit essential oil.
