Myrrh

Since 3000 BC, myrrh has been burned in temples and used in sacred healing rites.

In the Middle Ages, it found new purpose amidst the Black Death, infused into the beak-like masks of plague doctors, believed to shield them from the ‘poisoned air.’ Its resinous depth still carries echoes of those who sought protection in its scent.

Shaman Perfumery is a Thailand-based niche fragrance house founded by Tada Archawong, a Thai perfumer known for transforming memories and emotions into evocative scents.

The brand’s Offering Collection celebrates rare and precious materials through fragrances inspired by ancient beliefs, cultural traditions, and sacred rituals. Each composition in the collection serves as a tribute to ingredients like ambergris, Bulgarian rose, jasmine sambac, myrrh, and bourbon vanilla—materials historically reserved for royalty and spiritual ceremonies.

Archawong's fragrances blend Thai botanicals with global influences, reflecting both regional authenticity and a universal appreciation for the sacred essence of natural materials.
