Jo Malone Myrrh & Tonka Cologne Intense was released in 2016, created by Mathilde Bijaoui. Notes of lavender, myrrh, tonka bean, vanilla and almond. Jo Malone Myrrh & Tonka Cologne Intense is a Cologne Intense.
From the brand - "The golden sand dunes of the Namib: home of distinctive myrrh trees. The alluring scent of its resin travelling on the hot air; mingling with the warm almond and lush vanilla notes of the tonka bean. Noble and intoxicating."
Fragrantica - "It has this lovely powdery and creamy vibe between the Myrrh, Tonka Bean and Vanilla. It feels like a warm, inviting, and luxurious hug."
Fragrantica - "Very sexy fragrance, smells like a black licorice spice drop to me, hate those things, but they smell amazing, I love this fragrance."
Fragrantica - "I think my nose was interpreting the lavender and myrrh notes as being 'typically masculine' when I first sprayed it, but that dry down changed everything... the creamy tonka, warm vanilla and soft almond soften the edges and make it sweeter. Now I think it's perfectly unisex, maybe leaning slightly feminine on my skin. I feel confident and powerful when I wear this. It's a real beauty."
Fragrantica - "A very grounding composition... smooth, deep, resinous, spicy vanillic, dark academia vibes, unisex.. To me it also smells like an upscale hotel lobby for some reason.. great longevity & scent projection. Smart & sleek."
Fragrantica - "If fifty shades of grey was a bottle of cologne it'd be this."
Fragrantica - "This is a BANGER! I'm complimented everytime I wear this, by women and men. Women want to get closer, men want to buy it for women to get closer. It's sweet and soft, yet resinous and fizzy. Not a HUGE projector, but it's heavy and clings to the air, loitering around to grab ahold of the passer-by or downwind bystander's attention."
On initial smell, I didn't really like this. The Myrrh was overbearing and I just wasn't a fan. But then it surprised me! The Myrrh calmed down quite a bit and the Tonka came to the front. I really liked it. It lasted most of the day as well.
