Our verdict on 403 Myrrh Shadow: Statement

This polarizing scent is a dry, balsamic myrrh with a fresh, green twist, lauded by some as a modern masterpiece and dismissed by others as dusty, old-fashioned, or even Play-Doh. Definitely sample first, as you'll either love or loathe its unique character.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Office Casual

Given its moderate projection and a longevity that lasts maximum half a day, this scent is suitable for office and casual wear as it won't overpower. Its unique balsamic and amber nature, while subtle, could be interesting for a date, but it's not ideal for formal events due to its divisive quality and lack of traditional elegance. It's definitely not for sport.

About

Myrrh Shadow opens with a sharp burst of bitter orange and grapefruit, underscored by a surprising leafy greenness from blackcurrant leaf and basil. This quickly mellows into a warm, gently spiced heart of Sichuan pepper and cinnamon, supported by aromatic cypress. The dry-down unfurls a soft, powdery myrrh, benzoin, and vanilla accord, grounded by musky woods and a hint of patchouli, leaving a subtly sweet, lingering trace.
