The neutral yet seductive eau de parfum works with however you choose to identify

Tom Ford‘s Myrrhe Mystère Eau de Parfum is a captivating exploration of one of perfumery‘s most iconic ingredients, the mystical resin of myrrh. The fragrance transcends traditional boundaries, offering a seductive experience that combines timeless richness with a modern serenity.

Notes beyond Myrrhe

The scent opens with a powerful duo of myrrh essences, creating a warm, spicy, and softly sweet ambiance. Unlike the typical coldness associated with myrrh fragrances, Myrrhe Mystère leans towards a warmer side, embracing a classic yet contemporary olfactory profile. The exquisite Ultra-Vanille accord further enhances the fragrance, adding a powdery sweetness that lingers throughout the scent’s development.

As the fragrance evolves, the smoky and dark facets intensify, revealing a dry, woody character reminiscent of a partially burnt log. While the balsamic myrrh note remains elusive, the smoky vanilla and ambery facets persist, offering a unisex scent that is versatile in any climate.

Myrrhe Mystère’s dry down sees the emergence of woody notes, maintaining a smoky allure tempered by the lingering vanilla-amber accord. The fragrance’s longevity is moderate, making it an ideal companion for the colder seasons, which may not mean sub-zero degree temperatures here, but a cooler Christmas period to make the most of.

For optimal usage, the fragrance is best applied to clean skin with a simple spray once or twice on desired areas. It’s crucial not to rub the fragrance, preserving its intended development and ensuring a captivating, lasting allure.

The Myrrhe Mystère bottle is a luxurious testament to the fragrance’s opulence, housed in a brown iteration of the iconic Private Blend bottle. Besides the 30ml, the 50ml flacon and 250ml decanter, adorned with a brown plaque, stand as extravagant monuments on any vanity or grooming area.
