Myrrhe Mystère Eau de Parfum vs This Is Not A Blue Bottle 1.4 Eau de Parfum
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
Tom Ford's Myrrhe Mystère is a deeply divisive blend, attracting both lavish praise for its rich, mysterious depth and sharp criticism for its perceived mediocrity and exorbitant price. It's a myrrh-forward journey that polarises wearers between transcendental luxury and profound disappointment.
This one's a proper head-scratcher. Some reckon it's a unique spiced amber, a Christmas cake in a bottle. Others think it's a nasty concoction of curry and toilet cleaner. Definitely not a blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its warm, resinous character and moderate sillage make it suitable for intimate or formal evening wear, though it's too much for active wear. The luxurious, enigmatic aura lends itself well to date nights and formal gatherings, while some find it wearable for casual cool-weather moments.
Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.
Occasions
Its sweet and spicy nature, which some find strong and others subtle, leans it away from being an ideal office scent. It could work for a date night, bringing a unique, intriguing aura, but it's probably too polarising for many formal events.
