The fragrance is widely regarded as a more transparent and "polite" take on resins, making it a frequent choice for those who find traditional incense perfumes too overwhelming or heavy.
While the scent profile is highly praised for its elegance and complexity, there is a noted debate regarding its performance; many enthusiasts find it sits very close to the skin with moderate longevity, requiring reapplication to last through a full day.
Usage patterns suggest it is a versatile year-round staple, though it is most frequently reached for during the transitional weather of fall and spring when the balance of spice and fruit can truly shine.
It is often described as a "refined daily" scent, bridging the gap between a professional business fragrance and a cozy, leisure-time choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a heavy, smoky incense fragrance?+

No, despite the myrrh and frankincense notes, this is a "spicy fruity" classification. The resinous notes are handled with a light touch, balanced by pear and iris, making it much airier than a typical smoke-heavy perfume.

How does this perform on the skin?+

This fragrance is known for its intimate sillage. It tends to stay close to the wearer rather than projecting across a room, and while it lasts for several hours, it is considered more subtle than "nuclear" spice fragrances.

Is this fragrance better for day or night?+

It is exceptionally versatile. While the balsamic base notes lend themselves well to evening wear, the bright grapefruit and pear top notes make it perfectly suitable for daily use and professional environments.

Is Myrrhe & Délires geared toward men or women?+

It is marketed as a shared fragrance. The floral iris and fruity apricot notes provide a softness often found in feminine scents, while the pepper, licorice, and patchouli offer a woody, spicy backbone typically associated with masculine perfumery.
