Myrrh as a featured note— which fragrances?

Myrrh is a newer discovery for me as a note. Shocking, death-defying, and honestly it’s because I don’t bother with worrying about which notes I know about if I have not smelled a lot of reference points. These are the dialectics of myrrh-centric fragrances, not soliflores. Serge Lutens La Myrrhe is the queen of myrrh soliflores.

    I love it when it's done right. La Liturgie des Heures from Jovoy is a good example of that.

    1. cmewiththemhandz@guerlinaughty

      Ooooooooo I’ll sample it at the Scent Room! Added to the list :)

    I love it. The first one that comes to mind is immediately Penhaligon's Legacy of Petra

    I definitely need to try the Eau Savage line.... I'm not into normal Sauvage, don't hate it just not for me.... But this classic I really want to try.

      Only one I have matter or fact... And also have the Asad which is pretty on par but took a while of maturing to get there

      Interesting. I’ve never really understood the maturation part of those brands!
