Myrrhe Ardente is a deep, unisex fragrance centered around a warm, resinous myrrh accord, softened by honeyed beeswax, vanilla, and tonka bean. It opens with a dry, smoky, and medicinal character—evoking old books, incense, or a wood-fired temple—before unfolding into a softly sweet, gourmand-like base with hints of root beer, amber, and warm woodiness. The scent is intensely rich and atmospheric, best experienced in cool weather, where its subtle sillage and long development shine. It balances incense-like dryness with surprising sweetness, making it both spiritual and sensual, though its sillage remains intimate. Some find the beeswax or root beer-like notes overwhelming, while others are captivated by its meditative depth and unique olfactory journey.
