I think my next tries will be with something resinous that might have
a lower melt temp....like amber (the perfummy stuff from import
stores) or maybe even a little pine sap mixed with the myrrh.

I don't think basic harquus can be very difficult, because it has to
be within the range of possibility for a woman with a campfire, and
some handy rocks, sap, soot and fat.

That first batch....I tried washing my harquus with soap and water.
and it's still there! The mix that was just frankincense, soot and
charred henna with a little perfume oil were really tenacious! Great
for a cosmetic that you have to dance and party hard in! The spoon is
in the trash.....
