Understanding the material
Biolandes identifies its opoponax as a Commiphora erythraea gum-resin, gathered as tears or clumps and distilled for the cited oil. Its perfumery guidance places it with aromatic, woody, amber and leather directions. The trade name is a reason to inspect the botanical and product specification, rather than assuming that every resin described as sweet myrrh is identical.
Compare opoponax with myrrh and benzoin. Describe whether the warmth feels spicy, dry, rounded or vanilla-like before labelling everything sweet.
