Myrrh & Bean
Fragrance notes
Character
Lavender and artemisia hit first with a brisk, herbal snap, like crushing dried leaves between your fingers. That green bitterness is quickly swallowed by myrrh, which arrives not as a smoky cathedral incense but as a sticky, warm resin with a faint medicinal edge. The dry down is where the name earns its keep: tonka bean, almond, and hazelnut melt together into a sweet, nutty paste that feels almost edible, like the inside of a marzipan truffle wrapped in a papery hint of hay.
The overall character is a cozy contradiction: a resinous, aromatic backbone that refuses to be fully sweetened, softened by a creamy, powdery nuttiness. It’s the scent of a worn leather armchair in a room where someone has just cracked open a bag of roasted almonds. This is not a loud fragrance. With sillage hovering just under 3 and longevity around 3.36, it whispers rather than announces, which suits its intimate, warm nature. It feels more natural than synthetic, more accessible and wearable than niche, but with enough character to avoid smelling like a candle.
Who should wear it? The person who wants to smell rich and comforting without shouting about it. Skips those who demand projection or crave bright citrus and aquatic freshness. Best worn in fall and winter, when its balsamic, nutty warmth has weather to push against. Ideal for a lazy Sunday afternoon or a quiet coffee shop meet. Who needs a roaring sillage when the scent itself is a gentle, velvety hug?
