It has just three notes, one per level: lavender, Omumbiri myrrh and tonka bean. The house calls it sensuous and captivating. A short pyramid like this is easy to read on paper and surprisingly personal on skin, so a decant is a good place to start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTop:\u003c\/b\u003e Lavender\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeart:\u003c\/b\u003e Omumbiri Myrrh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003c\/b\u003e Tonka Bean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLavender, then resin\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLavender opens the scent and keeps it clean and aromatic, so it reads dry and open-air before any resin arrives. Wear the decant long enough to feel the moment lavender gives way to myrrh. That hand-over is the part a quick spray on a card never shows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOmumbiri myrrh\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe heart is Omumbiri, the Namibian myrrh. The brand describes the resin as drifting on hot air from the Namib dunes, and the effect is dry, resinous warmth rather than sweetness. Some people love that, others find myrrh medicinal, which is why testing helps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTonka closes the circle\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTonka bean ends the scent, and the brand points to warm almond and vanilla tones in it. Together they put a creamy softness beneath the dry resin. As a Cologne Intense the base has weight and settles into something enveloping rather than loud.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to test it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTest it in cool weather, in the evening, which is where its warmth makes sense. Put the decant on skin and let it develop through a quiet night in, then return to it the next morning to see what is left. If you try it in the heat, keep the application light so the lavender stays readable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeople who like resinous, softly sweet scents that stay dry rather than syrupy. The house places it among its woody scents, and we list it as unisex. It suits anyone drawn to warm resin and to lavender as a clean opening. If you want something bright and watery, a lighter style would suit you better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy try Jo Malone London Myrrh \u0026amp; Tonka as a sample first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMyrrh divides opinion, and with only three notes nothing hides it. A Cologne Intense in a 100 ml bottle is more than most people want to gamble on a note they have never worn. With a 10 ml decant filled from the original bottle you can find out calmly whether the Namibian resin suits you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat is in the decant?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMyrrh \u0026amp; Tonka Cologne Intense, filled by FragranceGems from the original 100 ml bottle into a 10 ml glass spray vial and labelled by us.

Each level still has a single note, but the result has more depth. The decant is the Cologne Intense, not the lighter Cologne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs it only a winter scent?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAutumn, winter and evenings suit it best, though it is not closed off.
