Description

Serge Lutens La Myrrhe is a rich oriental fragrance centered around myrrh. This is THE myrrh scent you must smell if you love myrrh or just want to try it. Myrrh is a little chilly and resinous, and Lutens has a masterful hand with this scent that it may take a try or two to truly appreciate for the masterpiece it is. And that word is no exaggeration for the artistry brought to this fragrance.  

Reviews of Serge Lutens La Myrrhe from noses that may or may not sniff like your nose. 

From Bois de Jasmin "Serge Lutens La Myrrhe is the essence of the moment when the sunlight enters through the stained glass windows of an old church, bathing its cold stone in iridescent glow and lending a jewel-like splendor to the liturgical vestments and the vessels of the altar. The contrast between the light and the dark is what makes the fragrance one of the most intriguing compositions resulting from Serge Lutens and Christopher Sheldrake’s partnership."

 from perfumeposse - "La Myrrhe (1995) – This requires some patience, which I had forgotten before I put it on – the open is horrendously bad, which makes it all the better when it turns into the beauty it is.  There are a billion ways to describe it, but I think the best is to experience it.  Mandarin, myrrh, lotus, bitter almond, sandalwood, honey, jasmine, amber, musk, various spices, pimento"

    Fragrance

    I purchase this sample based on reviews only. It definitively was not what I was hoping for. The opening is very citrusy, like mandarin, settling down to a subtle incense like . On me, it is not long lasting, few hours at the most. Unfortunately, I did not experienced all the hoopla around this fragrance.

    Wonderful

    A ot of comments about the opening, yet I LIKE the opening. Nothing about this fragrance is usual, yet it lasts very well (over 12+ hours) on my skin. I am a fan of myrrh resin and incense in general, although it is deemed somewhat medicinal. La Myrrhe twists and turns but seems comforting to me.

    I concur soapy

    But the hint of citrus makes it worth a try. Perfect for fall season

    soapy

    A rather disappointing scent. Absolutely would not recommend this. It has a rather cheap soapy smell.

    La Myrhhe- eh.

    Not into it. Top note middle and dry down scale a 3 octave range from soaring jet blast of pine down to a meek sweetness that does not move my heart to wonder. It is sophisticated, maybe too much so for my taste. A sophisticated perfumista might adore it for its complexity.

    Masterpiece?

    Had to try this one since its fans wax poetic about it and rave that it must be experienced. So I gave it a try and yes I can see how its orchestration could be deemed masterful, but would I want to wear it? Decidedly not, I really wanted to find it wearable so that I could be in the La Myrrhe 'club' but I must remain an outsider who wishes well to those who can wear it. It is just too strange and somewhat disturbing to live with.
