What Does Opoponax Smell Like in Perfume?
Opoponax smells sweet and balsamic. You get warm honeyed incense wood. The note softens the heart without turning sharp or bitter.
It sits apart from dry woods and plain smoke. The warmth is rounded. I like how it supports what sits around it instead of pushing to the front.
Is Opoponax Just Myrrh or Church Incense?
Opoponax is not bitter myrrh. Myrrh leans drier and more astringent. This note stays softer and more rounded. Sweet balsamic resin wood is the house read.
It is also not church incense alone. Frankincense covers the more sacred resin job on this bottle. Opoponax is the honeyed softener next to it.
Temple Smoke may mention myrrh in its story. That bottle does not list opoponax on the table. We keep the materials separate on purpose.
