| Botanical description |
The myrrh tree is a shrub with many branches bristling with thorns. At the end of summer, it is covered with red-orange flowers, while its trunk swells with knots. It is from these swellings that the myrrh flows, in small yellow tears, which are collected once dried.

| Olfactory description | Its essential oil, pale orange to reddish brown in color, gives off a humid and earthy odor. |
