How do you like this? I’m trading someone for this fragrance tomorrow I’m so excited!

This was once my signature scent and I naturally adored it. Today, I tried it on just to see where I am nowadays. I still quite enjoyed it and believe it is underrated in Jo Malone's catalog, but I think my tastes are moving beyond the sweet-resinous texture of Myrrh & Tonka. Similarly, I am feeling more "sensitive" to its gourmand nature, which is a family that I have been avoiding as of late. That being said, my husband does consider it either his favorite or second favorite of my collection. For the person who is looking for a signature sweet gourmand which has not been overplayed to death, this could definitely be the one.

Wore this last night, but only getting around to logging it now. I know people complain about the lasting power of Jo Malone but this stuff is eternal on me. And the scent itself is just so good.

Just wanted to smell dark, sweet & resinous
But without the all-day commitment my most beloved perfumes demand. Myrrh & Tonka is no slouch, though - it remains airy, but sticks around for 10+ hours on my skin with a noticeable presence

A winter's night on a summer morning
The powdery sweetness of tonka, the jewel-like glow of myrrh, a brief whiff of aromatic lavender - all combining into a sultry, inviting warmth. The profile isn't exactly suited to a baking-hot day

Weather has cooled off
This is sooooo good. Little spicy, little resinous with a smooth lavender somewhere in there. It’s comforting and cosy in a strong way.

Left in a rush this morning
Myrrh & Tonka is my go-to for when I want to smell dark and sweet, but keep my scent discreet. From the entire collection, this one probably has the biggest dent. Lovely stuff.

Temperature drop in the UK
