Sillage and projection
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Xerjoff Naxos and Amouage Reflection 45 spread further.
Myrrh & Tonka longevity
It stays on skin for about 6 to 9 hours, so one spray in the morning can carry you through the day. Eau de Cologne is the lightest strength, so a shorter wear time is normal. It lasts about as long as Guerlain L'Homme Ideal and Xerjoff Naxos. Base notes like tonka bean and vanilla are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Who will like it
The strongest accord is amber (100%), followed by vanilla and gourmand. You will probably like it if you enjoy amber and vanilla smells and notes like myrrh and tonka bean. Less obvious notes include almond. Perfume fans rate it 4.20 out of 5.
When in the day to wear Myrrh & Tonka
It works better at night than in the day, so it is a good pick for evenings, dinners and going out. Its amber side feels cosy and rich after dark. For daytime, Xerjoff Naxos is a lighter match.
Price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €239. That puts it on the expensive side. It costs more than Guerlain L'Homme Ideal and Xerjoff Naxos but less than Amouage Reflection 45.
