By the editors · 2 min readMyrrhae is an ecclesial composition — the kind of resin-and-incense scent that can read either spiritual or gourmand depending on the wearer. The opening is balsamic and slightly sweet: clary sage, benzoin and a warming snap of ginger, like a censer being lit in a cool room.
The heart is the subject — myrrh and incense in close conversation, with vanilla and iris adding a soft, almost makeup-powder body around the smoke. It never tips into churchy austerity because that vanilla anchor stays in view. The drydown is white musk, amber and cashmere wood — a warm, skin-close embrace rather than a sillage statement. A cold-weather perfume by nature; subtle but unmistakably ceremonial.
