Rock the Myrrh

I was shown this while I was discussing Dries Van Noten with an employee at the perfumery I went to, and she noted that this was her personal favourite, and I can very much see why, definitely one of the standouts that I tried. It's a linear but very well made and balanced fragrance; imagine the sweetest and most pleasing Myrrh you can think of, and sprinkle it with sugar, ambers and patchouli without making it cloying, this is what I'd say the centre of the fragrance is, a very sweet and addictive myrrh, which gets joined after the opening by a Suede reminiscent of the Suede in Babycat by YSL, but in this its prominent but very much behind the Myrrh and ambery resisns. Overall it's a very likeable fragrance in the air, and if it clicks with your skin like it does mine and others, it's very pleasing to get wafts of it throughout the day or whenever you turn your head/body, definitely a mood booster above all else!. In terms of projection I get a medium projection but in the opening and in regards to the scent trail on my skin, it can be a little stronger and denser if that makes sense. Longevity I got 8 hours which is good, this brand does seem to make sweet spot longevity for their fragrances (in my opinion) as for me the sweet spot is around 7-9 Max, as it still leaves time open for you to wear something in the 2nd half of the day or evening if you wore it in the morning etc. Perfectly unisex too, however the Suede in this might come off as ever so slightly masculine to some which is understandable but I stand by its perfect unisex rating. Overall it was a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one, Juice aside, as is standard with this brand, the bottle is quite beautiful to look at, and the fragrance itself is beautiful to smell, I have nothing bad to say about it, it does what it does, and it does it excellently, another banger from the brand. 8.7/10

Warm, sweet and delicious. It has become one of my favorites for winter. It opens with honey-like sweetness, warm and deep. On paper strip I also get some fruity sour notes like berry or plum, quite interesting. However, on my skin the leathery smell comes out right after the spray. At this stage it is calm and masculine. As it develops on my skins, I get something like hazelnut, and the perfume itself gets more and more creamy and nutty. At this stage I would really use the word "delicious" to describe it. It creates a patisserie vibe. After a few hours, the honey-like sweetness gets stronger and stronger, but still the right level of sweetness, never overpowering or cloying. In the meantime, some smoky woody scent starts popping up, in harmony with the honey scent. To my nose, patchouli is more detectable on a paper strip than on my skin. When I am wearing it, I can hardly get any patchouli. The drydown is simply beautiful. The smell that lingers on my skin at the end of the day is smooth, ambery, a bit powdery, and it reminds me of some almond-flavored dessert. As my sweater retains the smell, when I pick up the same sweater after a few days and smell the lingering scent, I just get delighted immediately. The smell even makes my sweater feel softer. This is a lovely perfume for winter, and it is even suitable for the office or a date night. It lasts unexpectedly long on my skin.

What a scent! Warm, spicy, comforting. I got the sample set because I want to gift myself one of these fabulous perfumes. I thought it would be Fleur du Mal or Soie Malaquais but it is going to be Rock the Myrrh. Funny I thought I would hate this one and Cannibus and Patchouli but they have been my favorite- this one by far. It is exactly my vibe in fall/winter- and actually wearing it in summer in DC on one day where the temperature dipped under 70. It is so good, it is a lot sweeter than I expected- a sharp sweetness with some spice- but this perfectly balances the Myrrh which to my nose often leans too sour. It is perfection- worth the price in my opinion and can't wait to wear it all winter. So pleasantly surprised- I highly recommend getting the discovery set- these scents are all so unique!

This is such a jaw-dropping fragrance. Absolutely unbelievably beautiful. Warm, chewy, creamy and resinous. This has quickly become a favorite of mine. There is really nothing quite like this at all. By far the best from this line ( Soie Malaquis is a close second). Not to mention, the compliments I get on this is unlike any other fragrance I’ve ever worn. Worth every single penny you will pay for this. And the performance on this is unreal. I can easily smell this on myself 12+ hours after applying it. An easy 10/10. If you’re into warm, spicy fragrances and are thinking about trying this I highly highly recommend it.

This is the first perfume I've tried where the leather note actually finds harmony with my skin chemistry. Other fragrances with leather in them, like Babycat (which on paper strips and other people smells amazing), just turn into plain leather/suede after about 5 minutes on my skin. I think having leather in a scent can make it very sexy when done correctly, and this one is definitely a winner. It has depth and a very unique sensual vibe that can most definitely be unisex. Would love a full bottle one day, but for now I'll keep getting the travel size dabbers 🥲

Less than a year ago, they had the 10ml refillable travel sprays on their website and a full 100ml bottle was 260€. They removed the travels completely and this one is 315€ now --- not cool :( Delicious golden resinous myrrh with soft brown suede as the main players. Pretty linear, but rich and good performance, over 6-7 hrs on skin (unless they changed the formula as I heard, after Dries left the company - not sure). Not gonna pay the retail prices for these brands anymore, it's becoming obnoxious.

Such a treat I had a whiff of it at the bloomies counter in reem mall , after which I knew I had to have it . This is what is referred to as a chameleon scent , it radiates sweetness first , 15 mins later a light hit of resinous myrrh felt as though I was at a temple or a sacred space ! Truly outstanding performance and the journey was impeccable . A solid 9 out of 10 . Safe blind buy might I add . Not offensive at all , the initial lull of sweetness is what makes it genderless and sexy.

Lovely; a creamy, sweet, high church scent... evokes the same mood as Georges de La Tour paintings of Mary Magdalene - see my avatar. Colors of brown and gold. A candle blown out. Yes, suede too, I get this as it dries down. Reminded of Reve d'Ossian from Oriza Legrand. On my wishlist now! I'm not sure if I would wear it enough to justify a full bottle, the experience is so specific and maybe too grown-up and put together for where I am now. One day...

If you want a suede-heavy fragrance, I cannot emphasize strongly enough how this was made FOR YOU ! I feel like a walking cowhide rug in the best way possible. Upon the initial spray, a highly resinous and animalistic aroma emerges. As it dries down, the presence of patchouli and pink pepper becomes gradually apparent. Surprisingly, an exceptionally delicate fragrance (do not be intimidated by the notes).

Rock the Myrrh was love at first sniff months ago, and a serendipitous Christmas gift. The scent opens with an initial burst of peppery, aromatic notes, which gracefully yield to myrrh, benzoin, and suede, creating a captivating journey. Undeniably sexy, this fragrance confidently makes a statement, leaving an impression that lasts well over 12 hours on my skin, complemented by remarkable sillage.

Smells like the original Thierry Mugler Angel, minus the strong patchouli that so many find offensive. It really smells just like the Angel body oil I used all summer of 2014 laying poolside in Vegas. This is a very sweet amber that’s almost gourmand. It’s lovely, addictive, and I don’t think it’s as polarizing as Angel so don’t let that scare you. If you love sweet ambers, you’ll prob love this.

I love this. It's deep, and natural smelling. I got it with the 15% friends and family discount at Saks. Dries is my favorite luxury designer line lately. It's a little heavy for summer, in my opinion. I would reach for other things. The opening is fresh, and it just gets sexier for me as the suede emerges. I think it leans masculine, being earthy and a bit punchy.

I put a drop of this on my wrist, and although I'm sitting in my living room in my sweatpants, I'm transported to walking around downtown NYC on an autumn night, and the smell of a leather jacket and the sweet tobacco of an unlit cigarette, some dry leaves blowing in the park, and maybe a little incense wafting from a shop. It's both comforting and exciting.

This was a blind buy for me purely based off the notes and wow it was a success, gorgeous fragrance, warm resinous and sweet. If you like fragrances like side effect and cuir majeste you'll love this, im slightly obsessed. I keep catching whiffs of it and it just smells so good, the bottle is beautiful aswell. Its strong too.....like STRONG

It’s lovely, with toffee and suede shades over benzoin, incense, and of course myrrh, myrrh myrrh done delightfully well. I like it best as a layering agent, as it grounds lighter, fruitier , more floral or sweeter fragrances with its savory woodiness. My favorite combination right now is 2:1 DVN Jardin l’Orangerie with this. It’s heaven!!!

Solid myrrh fragrance. Not for everyday use for me, but every now and then I will throw a myrrh fragrance in the rotation. I think I still like Myrrh & Tonka better, only because that vanilla note in there goes so well with the myrrh. Although, I find that this one lasts longer than the Jo Malone. So its a toss up. 7.3/10

Oh my goodness, what a delicious myrrh and soft brown suede combination! For me it's pretty linear, just becomes creamier at the base, not much else going on, but it's so refined and smooth! It's dense, good projection and above average longevity. My favorite from the line by far.

A very warm, oriental fragrance. When I first sprayed it, it reminded me a lot Ambre Narguilé of Hermès. When it dried down it bacame more woody, less sweet. The sillage is enormous, you can not unnotice when someone wearing this scent around you. I love it!

Sweet! Oh, sweet. Did someone already mention how sweet it is? So sweet. Oh gosh. Did i already say that? Sweet and smokey. First 5-10 min that is indeed a very nice gourmand scent, later it's getting less "sugar coma" but still quite a snack. Loved it.

Really really strong fragrance, huge projection and sillage. I sprayed it on a test strip and left it in my room upstairs and I could smell it all the way downstairs in my kitchen. A great smelling fragrance
