Mr. Sillage by Alexandria Fragrances is a bold, resinous tribute to the iconic Jo Malone Myrrh & Tonka. It opens with a sharp, aromatic lavender and myrrh that feels both incense-like and slightly mentholated, creating an immediate sense of depth and presence. The heart blends rich, sweet tonka with velvety vanilla and a hint of almond, though the almond is often subtle or barely detectable. The drydown develops into a creamy, slightly powdery warmth with vanilla and myrrh forming a softly seductive, long-lasting base. While some find it initially overpowering—especially the powdery tonka note that can dominate—the fragrance evolves beautifully over time, revealing a gentle sweetness and improved balance after a few days of aging. It performs best in cooler seasons, particularly winter and autumn, with some noting strong sillage and longevity of up to 9 hours.
