Mmmm. Myrrh. I love myrrh, but a little of it goes quite a long way.

This 3% dilution is a great way of making sure that you're not over-myrrhing things - something that I sometimes have a tendency to do.

Mix it with the sandalwood and frankincense dilutions, and you'd have the classic Trinity, already diluted down for your anointing convenience, and at a really terrific price.

Not having any other previous reviews to base my judgement on this dilution, I was a bit wary of its scent being a 3% strength...

It may not be as strong as one might expect with a full strength Myrrh EO, but I find this dilution to be the perfect amount of scent given its aromatic nature.

This Myrrh 3% is one of the most deep and mysterious of all plant resins. It blends beautifully with roses as there are some roses with the scent of myrrh (sorry, I don't know which ones)

I adore the 3% dilutions. They are much stronger than I had anticipated and reasonably priced. A great way to include otherwise unaffordable scents in my formulations.

I would love to see a larger variety offered in the future.
