Opoponax, Myrrh, and Shalimar

Sillage and Sorcery

Welcome to another Sillage and Sorcery!

In this episode, Bee of Venus Invictus tells us all about the resinous witchery behind opoponax and myrrh, and why it is so beloved in perfumery! Melissa of Sif Sniffs discusses Guerlain’s Shalimar, from its origin of legend, how it’s discussed in the world of perfumery, and what marks it as a classic scent that differs from current perfumes.
