Le Labo Myrrhe 55 Shanghai is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Daphné Bugey. Le Labo's Myrrhe 55 Shanghai carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

This Shanghai exclusive is a divisive one. Many find it an elegant, surprisingly floral take on myrrh, leaning towards chic jasmine with a subtle woody depth. Others are left scratching their heads, finding it too sweet, too generic, or simply not 'myrrh' enough for the hefty price tag.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Don't let the name fool you - this opens with a vibrant, almost candied jasmine that dominates the initial impression. It softens into a powdery, slightly musky heart where hints of resinous myrrh and earthy patchouli begin to emerge, weaving through the persistent white floral. The dry down introduces a subtle, clean oud, grounded by ambergris, creating an elegant, sophisticated skin scent that feels both vintage and modern.
