Myrrhae

Spiritual rather than liturgical, L'Erbolario Myrrhae distinguishes itself amongst an ever burgeoning field of incense fragrances by relying on a true blend of myrrh and frankincense. I disagree that this is particularly frankincense heavy, like Avignon or Sahara Noir, which take us straight into the church. I also burn resin incense on charcoal in my home and to my nose this scent, as the name implies, utilises a significant dose of myrrh, with frankincense wonderfully blended in to create the 'Myrrhae' accord we have here. It also utilises a noticeable clary sage note to assist in keeping this more a contemplative, resinous, 'outdoor' scent, rather than a smoky church-bound offering. Although not listed in the notes, there is to my nose also a sweetish kind of vanillin/honey accord that makes this slightly sweet, which also sets it apart from many other incense frags that are sharper and more strictly incense focused. Perhaps this accord is reached with the help of some ginger, which isn't identifiable as a specific note to me, but may be lending itself to this slight sweet dimension? Myrrhae is quite a light, ethereal scent, which is comforting, warm and very relaxing to wear. L'Erbolario use predominantly natural raw materials, which I believe lends very good longevity to their fragrances and keeps things very comfortable and elegant. I have two fragrances from this house, the other being Sandalo, and I truly believe that both scents do a great job of creating their own unique territory amongst two well explored themes, incense and sandalwood. I highly recommend both!

It’s really very nice incense scent from L`Erbolario! Dark, mystic scent, beautifully done. I agree with Jillmcshaw1 below, that there is similarity with Tom Ford Sahara Noir. Both are very interesting and captivating – they are smoky and heavy on incense note. I think Myrrhae is more complex, because on my skin I can smell some sweet vibes with some semi-spicy and fresh/herbal notes at the background... Tom Ford Sahara Noir is truly an authentic incense perfume that will take you into a church in the moment you spray... Myrrhae is similar, but softer on the frankincense note and a little bit sweeter than Sahara Noir. I think Myrrhae easily could be a niche scent and on my skin it has very good longevity – more than 7 hours with good silage. The more L`Erbolario perfumes I’m testing, the more love I get to the brand! Myrrhae is another example that incense note could be far more than a “church” note...Great job from L`Erbolario. But if you are not into smoky and incense scents – you’d better stay away.

This is NOT your ordinary perfume... Myrrhae is one DARK BEWITCHING scent which envelopes the soul and body with pure mystery, spiritism and purification. Definitely best for those in the Wiccan path as it will fill them with powerful energy for rituals and meditation. I could say more about this perfume but Ill leave it to the 'witch at heart' to figure it out...:) For anyone who thinks Myrrhae is too 'incense'y' or tarry, try layering it with L'Erbolario's Vaniglia and Ginger. Do some 'alchemy' of your own and you'll be amazed what you can do with L'Erbolario's natural free from synthetics perfumes!!!

Dark, dirty and smoky, very thick myrrh scent. I'm afraid it is a little too much for my taste, although I like myrrh in perfumes. But a good and expensive smelling frag for sure. And certainly unisex (although I saw it in the women's section of L'Erbolario)

A scent that's spiritually meant..Relaxes your senses. Lasts all day. Can't say it's unisex-more on the female side for sure. No longer available.
