Which Should You Buy?
A divisive but undeniably potent amber and tonka bomb. It's a statement scent, with some calling it a winter must-have and others finding it simply too much. If you like your warmth with serious projection, this is for you.
Commiphora Bean copies Jo Malone's Myrrh & Tonka - the same aromatic lavender top over resinous myrrh and a creamy almond-vanilla-tonka base. The budget version lands the warm, cosy gourmand idea but reads flatter, with the resin less rich and shorter staying power.
