Resin and some woody bits mixed in. I burn it in a flame/spoon type burner, it does great.

If you burn a big chunk of it, it's spicy as heck. If you grind it to rice-grain size, it has a strong woody note. These notes come through stronger than the water-latex smell in the description. Its complexity makes this my favorite myrrh.
