Myrrhe & Delires

Myrrhe & Delires is an unusually soft, intimate, and luminous oriental fragrance centered around myrrh and licorice. It opens with a bright citrus burst of bergamot and grapefruit, immediately crystallizing into a complex balsamic richness anchored by patchouli, tonka bean, and vanilla. The heart reveals a radiant floral-green accord of jasmine, osmanthus, rose, and violet leaf, lending a fruit-like, almost pineapple-sweet nuance that adds unexpected depth. The base settles into a warm, subtle sweetness with myrrh, incense, licorice, and tonka, creating a layered, softly radiant aura that is as much skin-scent as it is perfume. Despite its drydown leaning toward sweetness, it consistently maintains a restrained, earthy balance—avoiding sugary cloying by weaving in green, woody, and balsamic elements that keep it from becoming predictable or childish.
