Resinous Scent Family

Keeping with the more masculine scents, the resinous essential oil scent family offers deep, smoky, and sweet fragrances that are very similar to woody scents. These scents are often described as reminding someone of leather or being in a church. 

Popular scents in the resinous scent family include myrrh, frankincense, and elemi. 

These essential oils are best used with aromatherapy, especially when meditating or relaxing, as they provide sensations of grounding, uplifting, and intimacy.
