Which Should You Buy?
A divisive yet fascinating scent, La Myrrhe is either a "masterpiece" or a "bizarre wear" depending on your take on its challenging aldehydic opening, complex character, and an almost medicinal but still sweet myrrh accord. Definitely not a safe blind buy.
This one's a proper dark horse, deeply polarising but adored by its fans. A complex, shadowy amber with lashings of spice and a powdery, inky undertone that's definitely not for everyone. Blind buy at your peril, but if it clicks, you'll be hooked.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Given its strong sillage, long longevity, and complex profile, La Myrrhe is best suited for formal events and dates where its distinctive character can shine without overwhelming those around you. It's too potent for casual wear or the office, and certainly not appropriate for sport.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its strong projection and dark, sensual profile make it less suitable for office wear but perfect for dates and evening formal events. Reviewers often mention its suitability for 'dark clubs' and 'upscale evening events' in cooler weather.
