Myrrhe Mystère

Myrrhe Mystère by Tom Ford, composed by Rodrigo Flores-Roux in 2023, is a dense, resinous scent that people describe in six ways at once: sweet, woody, musky, floral, resinous and leathery, with everyone agreeing on all of them. It is worn by anyone.

Myrrh is the centre, a dry, slightly bitter, balsamic resin with a faintly medicinal edge, and absinthe adds an aromatic, aniseed-like herbal bitterness beside it. Jasmine brings a warm, rich floral layer, while vanilla sweetens the whole thing and softens the resin. Leather gives it a smooth, smoky depth, sandalwood a creamy woodiness and musk a soft, skin-like finish, so the scent feels like a single warm, enveloping accord rather than a sequence of stages.

Most wearers report long lasting or moderate longevity and a moderate trail, with a quarter finding it strong. It is voted mainly for winter and autumn and clearly for evening. It suits someone who likes resins and incense in a rounded, sweetened form.
