Is Myrrhe Ardente still in production?+−
This fragrance is part of the older Les Orientalistes collection. While it has become much harder to find in its original "honey-colored" bottle and there have been discussions regarding its discontinuation or limited availability, it occasionally appears in Goutal's updated "fluted" bottle styling.
How does this compare to other popular myrrh scents like Jo Malone Myrrh & Tonka?+−
This is significantly smokier and "drier" than the Jo Malone version. While both share a tonka bean base, Myrrhe Ardente focuses on the raw, earthy, and waxy facets of the resin, whereas the Jo Malone is often cited as being more floral and creamy.
Is this a safe choice for the office?+−
Because of its smoky and resinous nature, it is most suitable for professional environments during the winter and autumn. Its "mushroomy" and incense-forward opening may be too polarizing for a conservative office in high heat.
How does the beeswax note affect the scent?+−
The beeswax provides a dense, waxy texture that rounds out the sharp edges of the smoke. It adds a natural, organic sweetness that feels more like a honeycomb than a sugary syrup.
