Serge Lutens 1995 EDP
La Myrrhe
Serge Lutens La Myrrhe is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1995, created by Christopher Sheldrake. La Myrrhe opens with Spicy, Mandarin, and Pepper, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Lotus, Honey, and Almond, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Myrrh. Serge Lutens's La Myrrhe carries an Acquired verdict, an amber-led wear.
A divisive yet fascinating scent, La Myrrhe is either a "masterpiece" or a "bizarre wear" depending on your take on its challenging aldehydic opening, complex character, and an almost medicinal but still sweet myrrh accord. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A cold-weather scent. The icy aldehydic opening and the dry, resinous myrrh-sandalwood drydown read best against autumn and winter chill, where the contrast between the bright top and the dark, balsamic base feels most striking. It loses some of its zest and can read tiring in warm weather.
Best Occasions
Its complex, polarising aldehydic character and moderate sillage make it a strong pick for formal events and date nights where its distinctive myrrh-jasmine signature can shine. It is too potent and too unusual for the office, fine for considered casual wear, and not suited to sport.
