Mirra Gum

I've worn a lot of incense fragrances and this one actually smells like real myrrh resin rather than the dusty church-scent cliché. It stays warm and slightly sweet on my skin for hours without turning powdery. Easily the most interesting thing in my rotation right now.

The resinous opening is a bit sharp for the first ten minutes, then it settles into something warm and almost churchy that lingers on my scarf all day. I wore it to a dinner and two people asked what I had on.

I've burned myrrh resin for years, so I didn't expect a fragrance to get that smoky, slightly bitter resin so right. It opens a little sharp but settles into something warm and churchy within twenty minutes. Wore it to a dinner and two people asked what I had on.
