Myrrh & Tonka Cologne Intense Eau de Parfum vs 484 Myrrh & Tonka Eau de Parfum
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
A silky, resinous embrace of myrrh and creamy tonka, this Cologne Intense is both comforting and sophisticated. A modern classic for lovers of plush, sweet orientals with a refined, soothing character.
484 recreates Serge Lutens' Myrrhe et Tonka's gourmand almond-tonka core, but trades the original's resinous, smoky myrrh depth for a sweeter, thinner amber-vanilla base that fades noticeably sooner.
