Dries Van Noten Rock the Myrrh is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2022, created by Amélie Jacquin. Rock the Myrrh opens with Cypress and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Patchouli and Myrrh, and dries down to a base of Suede and Benzoin. Dries Van Noten's Rock the Myrrh carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one's a divisive gem but don't fear the myrrh; it's dialled right back to a resinous sweetness that surprisingly leans gourmand for some. Expect incredible longevity and projection, making it a standout for those who love bold, ambery warmth.

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.

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature, coupled with its rich, resinous character, make it ill-suited for the office or sport. The luxurious and sensual amber profile makes for a show-stopping evening or date night scent, while its distinct warmth perfectly suits formal events in cooler weather.

About

Rock the Myrrh opens with a sharp, green cypress and a flicker of pink pepper, swiftly transitioning to a warm, enveloping heart of myrrh and earthy patchouli. The drydown settles into a smooth, leathery suede sweetened by creamy benzoin, creating a sophisticated and resinous amber aura. It's a journey from herbaceous spice to a deep, compelling sweetness.
