How it behaves in a formula
Across this library, Myrrh appears 0 times as a top note, 1 time in the heart and 1 time in the base. Placement is the single best predictor of what you will actually smell: top-note materials are high-volatility and gone within the hour, base-note materials are fixatives that define the final and longest phase of the wear.
Compositions containing Myrrh in this library average 12.0 hours of documented longevity, and skew toward autumn and winter wear. Treat that as a tendency of the amber & resin family rather than a property of the material alone — dose, supporting accord and concentration all move the result.
Fragrances built with Myrrh
Louis Vuitton
Nouveau Monde
Amber Woody · Men
Formulated by Jacques Cavallier in 2018, Nouveau Monde draws inspiration from explorer Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza's legendary African expeditions, fusing rich cacao with noble leather and oud. The fragrance opens with an exotic, spicy pairing of golden saffron and dark black currant. The complex heart introduces bitter sweet cacao, earthy patchouli, and resinous myrrh. The dark, opulent dry-down anchors the profile in precious agarwood, smooth leather, and warm amber. It is an adventurous, sophisticated masterwork that projects deep mystery and regal authority.
Guerlain
Tobacco Honey
Amber Woody · Unisex
Launched in 2023 within Guerlain's exclusive L'Art et la Matiere collection, Tobacco Honey is a magnificent exploration of contrasting textures built around golden, viscous honey and rich tobacco. The fragrance opens with an ultra-rich, realistic wave of sweet honey accented by sharp cloves and anise. The sophisticated heart introduces dry tobacco leaves tempered by nutty sesame and warm tonka bean. The decadent base melts into a deep foundation of smooth vanilla, precious oud, and myrrh. It is a masterpiece of balance, offering a luxurious, golden warmth that envelops the wearer.
