"All thy [God's] garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad." -Psalm 45:8, KJV
The three smells coming from Jesus' clothes in this passage each represent a particular aspect of His nature. The myrrh represents His sweetness. The aloes represent His suffering, and the cassia represents His healing power. All of these are shown in the NT through Christ and they are amazing to see. God is so wonderful to us that we miss what's right in front of us.

Note: These symbolic references are not original with me. I heard them in a message at college and wrote them in my Bible, but I didn't write who said them.
