Gold Myrrh Absolute

This is intoxicating! When I first sprayed it I got some Eau Duelle Diptyque and Armani Code Satin vibes. (I'm a newbie so be gentle with me..) So I sprayed them all three on me and now I suffer from headache. While I can still type, I have to say that on my skin and to my nose Gold Myrrh is a little spicier, more straight forward and not as hypnotic as Eau Duelle and softer than Armani, like a between. It is sweet, vanillic, dry (I smell something woodsy or tabacco-y) and deep so initially feels more "female" but the pepper and dryness balances it and makes it easily worn by everyone! I can't stop smelling my arm (which doesn't help with the headache). It doesn't feel unique but it does feel luxurious and sensual. Again I'm a newbie so I am all about feelings and not the detailed picture (obviously!! :). Have fun!

Frankly, the first time I smelled Gold Myrrh I was a little underwhelmed and it took two wears before I fell in love. From the opening and through out, I get a decadent chocolate note, think chocolate fountain with liquid chocolate that's somewhere between a milk and dark chocolate mixed with licorice, which, has a very unique smell (and taste) - sweet but interlaced with a unique spiciness. When the myrrh and the beautiful creamy vanilla in the base come in, this fragrance literally hits the sweet spot! I absolutely adore the dichotomy of sweet and spicy - sweet vanillic chocolate combined with a spicy licorice and myrrh, that works in perfect synchrony here. To me, this is more feminine leaning being predominantly sweet and I think this fragrance will bloom in the colder months. This scent is warm and inviting with just an alluring hint of sexy that makes it totally captivating!

I got a teeny decant of this as a random add-on to another order and OOF. This is such a deep, rich, and warming fragrance - it almost seems like it should be a perfume oil with the heat it exudes. I've been a little wary of chocolate gourmands after striking out with some beloved recommendations (Oud in Bourbon was too synthetic, Ummagumma was a medicine cabinet) but this one is perfectly composed. The chocolate in this truly blew me away. It's silky, luxurious, positively unctuous, just the most perfect chocolate note I could imagine. Rather than ruin it with sweetness, there's a terrific spunky layer of myrrh, tangled in licorice and a dash of pepper. It's the ideal textural, spicy counterbalance to the chocolate. I can't believe I discovered this by chance, and of course it's discontinued. Time to hunt down a full bottle!

After trying this, I'm all the more eager to test anything with a combination of myrrh + cacao/chocolate. Those two notes are exquisite together, and they're what I'm getting the most of in this perfume. The licorice is subtle, but noticeable. The vanilla lingers around the longest after the cacao note fades. It's a simple note profile with a bold impact. I wore it to bed last night and it seduced me into my slumber. When I woke up, I wanted more... and I'll wear it until my decant runs dry. I'm finding myself in a debate with the devil on my shoulder over whether or not I need a full bottle of this. Hmmm. Overall: long-lasting, unisex, richly seductive and perfect for fall weather.

wherever u r while reading this, can u plz stand up and take a moment of silence while sniffing this in appreciation of just how fucking gorgeous this shit is? dusty dark chocolate (not powdery edible or caky or synthetic, DOES NOT smell like the chocolate in montale chocolate greedy), dirty incensy, not overly sweet; true myrrh that's not sticky rather churchy (as seen in armani myrrhe imperiale). just gets better and better in cold, projects and lasts a long time on clothes but not a beast. i don't particularly pick up on the immortelle personally but i can assume that it's the dirty thing i get? overall top 10 for life.

I love Herrera Confidential series and let me just say this. There is a reason the cap is gold as well. This is their best work to date. Sweet, intoxicating, enveloping, gourmand and spicy at the same time. Moresque Contessa, Xerjoff Lira fans pay attention to this one. It performs like a monster off my warm skin. I am afraid to imagine what it does when it is actually cold outside. I get liquorice very faintly which is a good thing for me personally. This is one hell of a rich juice. Presentation wise 10 out of 10, scent 11 out of 10. Can't wait to see what is next in this collection.

This is yummy. The opening is very peppery with an incense smell from the myrrh, that’s when you get the strongest myrrh note and it’s not even that strong. After a few minutes it turns into a delicious sweet cocoa powder smell. And it remains like that until it disappears a few hours later. It lasts about 6hrs on my skin and about 10 on my clothes. I don’t smell the licorice note at all.....also this fragrance sits really close to the skin, it’s more intimate. When I first sprayed it I thought I had received a fake because I couldn’t smell anything but give it time, it’s there 🥰

This is beautiful. The incense and myrrh are the first notes jumping out. If you love Encens Suave, you’ll love this. ES is no dupe, but they do share the same thick, resinous qualities. GMA adds a beautiful, dusty chocolate note into the composition. This is my favourites so far from the CH confidential line! As it dries, more milky, creamy chocolate comes through. The myrrh and the resinous notes still also hold throughout the fragrance. I really wasn’t expecting to like this but the hype is real! I also love that this is a wearable myrrh fragrance and not too overwhelming.

Great value even at 240$ yes it's that good. This scent smells like a (hear me out, drop the stigmatization of sexuality..) sexy black guy. Black man, dressed in a suite. Haha idc. I love this scent, it's TO DIE FOR. If you've smelled it, you know what I mean. It doesn't mean white or Asian people can't wear it. It just screams darkness and smooth. It's absolutely dreamy. I think all black people should own this scent 😅😅😅😅😅 idc how that comment makes you feel, it's so true 😆 it makes me laugh.

This is top 10 best perfumes I’ve ever smelled. Gold Myrrh Absolute opens with a spicy pepper along the “yellowness” of imortelle. It’s truly intoxicating because in the background you can already smell the powdery dark cocoa, the sweetness of the Licorice and the vanilla. And that myrrh... it’s the best myrrh in a fragrance I’ve ever smelled( I’m usually a frankincense girl). It smells exquisite. Royal. Unique. Dark and Mysterious. I don't recommend as a blind buy.

After a year and a half of sampling here and there, I decided that this is a love for me. I was shocked to find that it’s discontinued and extremely hard to find. Thankfully and luckily, I might add, I was able to purchase a bottle at an excellent price! Something about this fragrance just moves me. No it’s not a screamer, but at this point in my fragrance journey it doesn’t need to be. Ecstatic to have it in my collection.

Fiery! The bottle is gorgeous but if it represented the fragrance it could easily be dark red and black, like embers. This is a super dry smoky woody incense perfume. Vanilla helps round out the fragrance but is not the main player for me until in the drydown. Smells like Encens Sauve and By the Fireplace together. It's lovely! Very safe blind buy IMO!

Holy bejeezus this is good. Chocolate myrrh milk with a licorice swirl. Sprayed it 8 times. Seems to be more noticeable in the air than on skin. Leaves a lovely trail and scent cloud in the room you just left. Not too sweet, but myrrh is probably better suited for fall, winter, or cooler evenings. Perfect for a chilly, rainy day. Blind buy winner.

This smells like cacao nibs or cocoa dust to me.. The myrrh adds the dusty-incense vibe to it. I love this scent, i think this is one of the most yummy-bitter chocolate fragrance. Quite linear, very dry and bitter, not for everyday wear. This better for layering other fragrances. Sillage: low (skin scent) Longevity: Moderate

oh my, this was LOVE at first sniff. i cant even begin to describe how much this scent is delicious. it opens up sweet&spicy and then it gets this warm, rich cocoa-vanilla that makes you want to take a bit out of yourself. i NEED to get a big bottle of this.

This stuff smells absolutely amazing to me. I wish bottles were easier to find in Montreal, Canada. I got a decant but my decant broke. Somehow the glass shattered in my bag. At least my bag smells great but I would have liked to wear it more.

Very best among the whole CH Confidential line. I thought that nothing can beat my all-time favourite Bronze Tonka. But this one proved me so wrong. Comment belwo is spot on. The scent is highly addictive and total jewel!

Omg it is so so so so good. You have to smell this. All the best things in one bottle. Chocolate, myrrh, licorice. And that black pepper makes it pop. I wouldn’t think to combine these notes but it just works.

Mouthwatering milk chocolate scent, so realistic, I love the licorice note in here, make it smell more freshie and spicy, longevity is around 6-7 hours with moderate projection Gold Myrrh Absolute is 8.5/10

This smells almost exactly like Zara Bohemian Oud, as I'd hoped. Absolutely beautiful smoky vanilla cacao woods. I'm in love I'm in love I'm in love. Now to start saving up....
