Guggul (Sweet Myrrh) has a pleasant and calming aroma that is similar to Opoponax Commiphora Erythrea and Opoponax Hadi Sweet Myrrh (Commiphora Guidotti) from Somalia.

When burned, Guggul resin releases a complex and sweet fragrance, making it a popular choice. However, the scent of Guggul is distinct from the more well-known Myrrh from Somalia (Commiphora Myrrha) and Yemen, which have deeper, woodier fragrances.

This versatile resin is also referred to as Commiphora Wightii, Commiphora Mukul, Indian bdellium, gugal, guggulu, guggal, gugul, mukul myrrh tree, and belongs to the flowering plant family, Burseraceae.

Originating from western India, it was later introduced to southern Pakistan and throughout the Middle East.
