Classic Myrrh

My bottle of Classic Myrrh this afternoon and I'm wearing it now, for just a short while, so this my preliminary review until after I've spent more time with this fine fragrance. I'll update my review accordingly... I'm a huge vetiver fan and have been wanting a bottle of Classic Vetiver from Von Euserdorff for the past 3-4 years but just haven't gotten around to it. Recently, I found Classic Myrrh for great price--and I have become a huge incense/myrrh fan over the past few years--so ordered a bottle slight and smell unseen and unsmelled. I my initial impression is a very strong like. My favorite myrrh fragrances are Montale Kabul Aoud, Armani Myrrhe Imperiale, Comme des Garcons Avignon and Tom Ford Sahara Noir, which tend to be a more loud and proud and heavy on the myrrh and incense. On the designer side Dior Eau Sauvage Parfum, Dior Fahrenheit Absolute, Prada Amber Pour Homme Intense are some of my favorites. My primary though when purchasing Classic Myrrh is that would be a more reserved, toned-down, fragrance that is well-suited for the a more formal office or social environment. My impression was correct in that it comes across as being just that...a refined myrrh fragrances that won't necessary stand-out, but there will be a reminded appreciation for this scent. Update: performance was pretty good in that it lasted around 7-hours and projected moderately within a personal scent bubble - perfect for this type of fragrance. Personally, I feel this fragrance feel like it more suitable for a well-dressed man, but it can easily be rocked by the right woman. Overall, a strong like and I'll update my review as I wear it for the upcoming Fall season.

Myrrh is my favorite incense note! So wearable with out the church incense vibe while still retaining the artistic factor. I really love when it gets sweetend up like myrrh imperiale by Armani which still remains the no 1 myrrh scent of all time, this is more dry with smoky woody undertones. Very nice price, longevity and projection. Great quality too, and for this I rate the fragrance overall at 8.5/10

This is less of a myrrh fragrance and more of a woody fragrance. It does not have that soft cola vibe. Mainly it is patchouli, cedar, and the other woods with a swirl of burnt wood incense like a palo santo.

This is frankincense at max. It's frankincense with hints of myrrh. It is typically like the frankincense gum of Arabia quite pure with high quality. Beautiful.

I'm a myrrh lover, and the longer Classic Myrrh is on my skin, the more I enjoy it. In the first 20-30 minutes, I get a fairly strong cedar note along with creamy, sweet guiaic wood. In the heart, I notice both types of myrrh: common myrrh, which is earthy, woody and slightly bitter, and sweet myrrh (opoponax), which is balmy, moist, sweet and kind of herbal (sometimes gives a root beer quality to perfumes). While I notice the dryness (meaning the opposite of sweet), I also notice elements that make this fragrance, on the whole, a bit sweeter than I like. I really love the total lack of anything sweet in Tauer's Incense Extreme and was hoping Classic Myrrh would be equally dry. With a name like "classic myrrh" I guess I was assuming that it would be all about classic myrrh, which is the common, dry one. Still, I find this a very enjoyable myrrh fragrance and a great one for people who are learning about the scent of the note and how to distinguish both within the same composition. If I'm at all correct, and the perfumer was blending the two varieties, he did a very nice job. While I'm not going to rush out and buy a bottle, I can imagine myself regretting that if this were discontinued. Edit: I was shocked how quickly this evaporated from my skin. It lasted 2-3 hours. I sampled from a vial. In my experience, when you spray from a bottle, you get more longevity, and I truly believe this would be the case with this one. Just my opinion.
