Mirra 
Myrra As we know from the New Testament, Myrrh was one of the most valued substances of the ancient world. It was used as a ritual incense in various cultures. The scent is considered spiritual, purifying and uplifting.
Greek legend states that Myrrh was the daughter of King Cinyras of Cyprus. She fell in love with her father, and shared his bed. When she was pursued for her crime, she prayed to the gods that she might be invisible; so the gods in compassion turned her into the tree called smyrna (myrrh). 10 months later the tree burst and Adonis was born.
Love and hate, joy and sorrow; a complex legend for a complex scent. As you can see above, there is also much disagreement as to the correspondance of Myrrh. Decide for yourself where to place this mysterious lady!
