Banjara Mayan Myrrh Incense Sticks 15 g

Banjara Mayan Myrrh is an Indian masala incense from the Ethno-Tribal Smudge Incense range. Made in Bangalore, these incense sticks are inspired by the characteristic aroma of myrrh and release a deep, warm and distinctly resinous fragrance with balsamic, earthy and slightly woody nuances.

Deep myrrh fragrance with balsamic warmth

When burned, Banjara Mayan Myrrh develops a full, warm and resinous-spicy fragrance. Balsamic and slightly woody notes combine with dry, earthy and subtly bitter accents. The characteristic depth of myrrh is at the forefront, while the masala base gives the fragrance a softer, more rounded warmth.

Compared with the sweeter or more floral incense sticks in the Banjara range, Mayan Myrrh has a darker, more serious and distinctly resinous character. The fragrance is particularly appealing to lovers of traditional resin aromas and is well suited to creating a quiet, contemplative atmosphere, for example during meditation or prayer.

Myrrh – a precious resin of antiquity

Myrrh is one of the most important aromatic resins in history. This natural gum resin is obtained from various trees of the genus Commiphora. One of its principal botanical sources is Commiphora myrrha, which is native to the arid regions of East Africa and the Arabian Peninsula.

As early as antiquity, myrrh was transported along trade routes connecting southern Arabia, the Horn of Africa, Egypt and the Mediterranean region. The resin was used in fragrance preparations, incense and religious ceremonies. Its characteristic aroma was particularly valued for its warm, balsamic and slightly bitter resinous notes.

In various religious and spiritual traditions, myrrh is associated with prayer, contemplation, protection and symbolic purification. These associations form part of the cultural history of the resin and should not be understood as proven effects of this incense.

Mayan Myrrh – an Indian fragrance composition

The name Mayan Myrrh is the product name of this Banjara fragrance variety. It does not mean that the product is a historical incense of the Maya civilisation. In Mesoamerican incense traditions, various resins known as copal played a particularly important role, whereas myrrh is primarily associated with the historical trading and cultural regions of Africa, Arabia and the Mediterranean.

The manufacturer does not disclose the exact composition of Banjara Mayan Myrrh. It is therefore not possible to confirm whether natural myrrh, myrrh powder or myrrh essential oil is actually present in the incense mixture. The name describes the fragrance of the product.

Banjara Ethno-Tribal Smudge Incense

Banjara Mayan Myrrh belongs to the Ethno-Tribal Smudge Incense range, whose fragrance compositions are inspired by aromatic plants, woods, resins and various incense traditions. The masala incense sticks are made by R. M. Enterprises in Bangalore, India. The incense mixture is applied to bamboo sticks.
