Sharing is caring!

I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. 

Proverbs 7:17

What I love about this verse is the anthropological aspect, reading about the culture back then, and having a curious mind to experience similar aromatics discussed. And in this verse, I wanted to know why was it a big deal for her to mention her bed was perfumed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.

While this verse in context tells a story of a prostitute luring men into her bed while her husband was out of town, we do not suggest or approve of immoral or potentially dangerous behavior.

About The Ingredients

Sandalwood has a deep woodsy aroma, with similarities to the aloes mentioned in the Bible. It's a well-known aphrodisiac with cleansing properties that also improves focus. We chose sandalwood because its properties and overall aroma are similar to aloes, and finding true aloes is very difficult, extremely expensive, and inconsistent in its aromatic profile.

The myrrh mentioned in the bible is a stacte resin, meaning it helps to hold other incense ingredients together. The oil is very similar, blending well with other oils. Its relaxing and cleansing aroma creates an environment that melts stress and increases confidence. (Learn more about myrrh oil)

Cinnamon has a bold, spicy aroma and it was used in the Holy Anointing Oil. It's a warming oil, and like sandalwood, also has properties that improve the libido for both men and women. (Learn more about cinnamon oil)

These oils are mixed in a base of witch hazel and water.

The witch hazel helps to keep the essential oils in solution with the water, because oil and water don’t mix well. If you don’t have witch hazel on hand, you can also substitute high-proof clear alcohol like vodka or Everclear.
