The plush warmth of myrrh, tonka, and vanilla make this ideal for fall and winter, draping the wearer in a cozy, resinous sweetness. It can work in spring on chilly days, but its richness can be cloying in summer heat.

Its moderate projection and sensual warmth make it a standout for romantic evenings and formal occasions where an inviting aura is welcome. It can be worn in the office if applied lightly, but feels out of place for sport or intense activity.

About

Myrrh & Tonka Cologne Intense opens with a smoky, almost arid lavender that quickly settles into a plush heart of omumbiri myrrh. The resinous core is softened by a creamy, almost milky tonka bean, merging with sweet vanilla and nutty almond for a velvety, addictive drydown. Despite its richness, the scent feels airy and translucent, offering a cashmere-like warmth that lingers on skin with moderate projection and impressive longevity. Both sensual and contemplative, this fragrance is a cocoon for cool weather and intimate settings.
