Myrrh was a principal ingredient in the holy anointing oil, and one of the gifts brought by the wise men to worship the infant Jesus. It was also used as a perfume, incense, medicine, ointment and an embalming oil. 

Different growing regions, climate changes, and slight variances in the distillation process can produce different smelling myrrh essential oils.

Myrrh from Somalia has a deeper odor profile than our Ethiopia essential oil. 

This oil is thicker than the essential oil and as with all myrrh oils they have a tendency to thicken more after the bottle has been opened.  Be sure to clean the top of the bottle after using to slow down the stickiness that develops over time.

Easton's Bible Dictionary

Myrrh

Heb. mor. First mentioned as a principal ingredient in the holy anointing oil (Exodus 30:23). It formed part of the gifts brought by the wise men from the east, who came to worship the infant Jesus (Matthew 2:11). It was used in embalming (John 19:39), also as a perfume (Esther 2:12; Psalms 45:8; Proverbs 7:17). It was a custom of the Jews to give those who were condemned to death by crucifixion "wine mingled with myrrh" to produce insensibility. This drugged wine was probably partaken of by the two malefactors, but when the Roman soldiers pressed it upon Jesus "he received it not" (Mark 15:23).
