Is The Essence Vault Myrrh & Tonka - 589 a dupe of Jo Malone London Myrrh & Tonka?
ScentArt
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.
Inspired by Jo Malone's Myrrh & Tonka, No. 589 leans into the same resinous-sweet amber idea with tonka and vanilla, but the myrrh reads simpler and less balsamic and the whole thing sits heavier on the skin than the original's famously translucent, silky drydown.
