Czech & Speake Frankincense and Myrrh Cologne is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1984. Frankincense and Myrrh Cologne opens with Lemon, Orange, Bitter Orange, and Clary Sage, settles into a heart of Allspice, Woody Notes, Myrrh, and Chamomile, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, Lavender, and Frankincense. Czech & Speake's Frankincense and Myrrh Cologne carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one's a bit of a chameleon, often defying expectations set by its name. Some adore its fresh, aromatic take on traditional resins, while others find it too subtle or not resinous enough. It's a love-it-or-leave-it kind of scent, steeped in old-school charm.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its moderate sillage and subtle nature make it suitable for office wear, though its classic, aromatic character might lean informal for some. It's versatile for casual use, but not quite bold or long-lasting enough for a statement date fragrance or truly formal events. It's definitely not a sport scent.

About

Opens with a bright, zesty burst of citrus and herbal basil, quickly evolving into a warm, spicy heart with a subtle kick of pimiento and the soothing earthiness of chamomile. The dry-down settles into a comforting, powdery blend of lavender, creamy sandalwood, and ancient resins - frankincense and myrrh - with a clean, almost soapy undertone. It's an aromatic journey from fresh vibrancy to warm, woody tranquility.
