Oils of the Life of Jesus Christ Gift Set
Curated by Scripture
What are the Six Aromas of the Gospel?
The Oil of Extravagant Love
"Then Mary took a pound of very costly oil of spikenard, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil."
— John 12:3
Spikenard, a precious oil valued at nearly a year’s wages, was poured out by Mary of Bethany as a sacrificial act of love, preparing Jesus for His burial. Jesus honored her gift, declaring her devotion would be remembered forever.
The Aroma of Christ's Divinity
“Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn... They will bring gold and frankincense and proclaim the praise of the Lord.”
— Isaiah 60:3, 6
Frankincense, offered by the Magi at Jesus’ birth, symbolizes His divine kingship and role as our High Priest. Just as incense rose in the Temple, Jesus’ life was a fragrant offering bridging heaven and earth.
The Strength of the Righteous
“The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree; he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.”
— Psalm 92:12
Cedarwood, a symbol of strength and endurance, reflects Jesus’ unwavering faith and righteousness in His mission. As the cedar adorned Solomon’s Temple, Jesus embodied the true and living Temple, offering Himself as the bridge between heaven and earth.
The Herb of Purification
“A jar full of sour wine was sitting there, so they soaked a sponge in the wine, put it on a stalk of hyssop, and lifted it to His lips.”
— John 19:29
Hyssop, used at the crucifixion to lift the sour wine to Jesus’ lips, points to the spiritual purification that His sacrifice brings. As the Passover lamb’s blood was applied with hyssop, Jesus became the final sacrificial Lamb, cleansing us from sin.
The Oil of Sacrifice
“They offered Him wine mixed with myrrh, but He did not take it.”
— Mark 15:23
From the cradle to the cross, Myrrh was present in both Jesus’ birth and burial. Given by the Magi as a gift foreshadowing His suffering and used in preparing His body for burial, Myrrh reminds us of the ultimate sacrifice Jesus made for the redemption of the world.
The Balm of Burial and New Life
“Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds. Taking Jesus’ body, the two of them wrapped it with the spices in strips of linen.”
— John 19:39-40
Aloes, often interpreted as fragrant sandalwood, was used alongside myrrh to prepare Jesus’ body for burial. This rich and grounding aroma symbolizes preservation and foreshadows the new life that His resurrection offers to all who believe.
FAQ
Why Is Fragrance in the Bible?
Why Is Fragrance in the Bible?
Fragrance plays a profound and multifaceted role in the Bible, with aromatic plants and oils mentioned over 600 times throughout Scripture. These fragrances often carry symbolic, spiritual, and literal significance, enriching the biblical narrative in diverse ways.
Fragrance is frequently used as a metaphor for spiritual concepts—such as prayers rising like incense (Psalm 141:2) or the pleasing aroma of Christ’s sacrifice (2 Corinthians 2:15).
Fragrant oils were used in sacred rituals, anointing ceremonies, and purification rites, symbolizing holiness, consecration, and healing.
Fragrant oils and spices were present at key moments in Jesus’ life and ministry—from the gifts of the Magi at His birth (Matthew 2:11) to His anointing before burial (John 19:39-40).
The fragrances mentioned in the Bible invite us to experience God’s presence more deeply. We encourage you to explore these sacred aromas by reading the verses referenced on our bottles, allowing the fragrance to connect you with Scripture in a tangible and meaningful way.
Why Use Biblical Fragrance?
Why Use Biblical Fragrance?
Scent is one of the most powerful sensory experiences, capable of evoking vivid memories and emotions while forming deep neurological connections. The Bible deliberately uses sensory imagery to create a more lasting impression of its teachings, engaging not just the mind but also the senses.
Experiencing the aromas mentioned in Scripture helps unlock nuances of meaning that can be missed when only reading the text. For example, the scent of frankincense evokes images of worship and intercession, while myrrh recalls both the birth and burial of Jesus.
Engaging with biblical fragrances allows believers to immerse themselves more fully in the biblical narrative, making it a more tangible and memorable spiritual experience.
By using these fragrances—particularly those featured prominently in the Gospel and Old Testament—you can deepen your understanding of Scripture and create lasting sensory connections to key moments in biblical history.

Yes, absolutely! Essential oils were commonly used by biblical figures for physical, medicinal, and aromatic purposes. Using them in this way is perfectly aligned with Scripture. However, it’s important to approach them with biblical understanding and avoid incorporating New Age practices or attributing mystical powers to the oils. Instead, use them as natural gifts from God that can enhance wellness and serve as an aid in Bible study.
