A strong incense driven sillage monster of a fragrance this is one that is only for those who like strong balsamic perfumes. The perfume begins in a cloud of incense, cedar and petitgrain. As it settles, one can detect guaiac wood, violet and sandalwood. Finally it settles into a musty powdery base of myrrh, patchouli, cistus and vetiver. Not for the squeamish, this perfume has tremendous sillage and longevity. It is an eccentric, moody, and uncompromisingly musty scent. Only for the most daring. Enjoy!

I concur 100% with alfarom’s review below. I just wanted to add, beware of spraying this on your clothes. It leaves behind an unyielding dusty, stale myrrh stench. The longevity is unbelieveable. I have been collecting scarves and sweaters all week that need cleaned and that have just trace amounts of this perfume from overspray. Still very strong days later and reeking of antiques and exactly like “grandma’s personal drawers”.

My bottle of Classic Myrrh this afternoon and I’m wearing it now, for just a short while, so this my preliminary review until after I’ve spent more time with this fine fragrance. I’ll update my review accordingly…
I’m a huge vetiver fan and have been wanting a bottle of Classic Vetiver from Von Euserdorff for the past 3-4 years but just haven’t gotten around to it. Recently, I found Classic Myrrh for great price–and I have become a huge incense/myrrh fan over the past few years–so ordered a bottle slight and smell unseen and unsmelled. I my initial impression is a very strong like.
My favorite myrrh fragrances are Montale Kabul Aoud, Armani Myrrhe Imperiale, Comme des Garcons Avignon and Tom Ford Sahara Noir, which tend to be a more loud and proud and heavy on the myrrh and incense. On the designer side Dior Eau Sauvage Parfum, Dior Fahrenheit Absolute, Prada Amber Pour Homme Intense are some of my favorites. My primary though when purchasing Classic Myrrh is that would be a more reserved, toned-down, fragrance that is well-suited for the a more formal office or social environment. My impression was correct in that it comes across as being just that…a refined myrrh fragrances that won’t necessary stand-out, but there will be a reminded appreciation for this scent.
Update: performance was pretty good in that it lasted around 7-hours and projected moderately within a personal scent bubble – perfect for this type of fragrance. Personally, I feel this fragrance feel like it more suitable for a well-dressed man, but it can easily be rocked by the right woman. Overall, a strong like and I’ll update my review as I wear it for the upcoming Fall season.

Myrrh is my favorite incense note! So wearable with out the church incense vibe while still retaining the artistic factor. I really love when it gets sweetend up like myrrh imperiale by Armani which still remains the no 1 myrrh scent of all time, this is more dry with smoky woody undertones. Very nice price, longevity and projection. Great quality too, and for this I rate the fragrance overall at
8.5/10

“Classic Myrrh” is so easy to wear!
I’ve never been good with fancy words when reviewing scents and I know little about incense based dry scents, but I’ll try to do my best to explain what I’m getting from “Classic Myrrh” as someone who usually avoids these kind of scents.
“Classic Myrrh” is extremely dry and woody yet it manages to be almost soft and smooth in it’s composition. This is also on verge of being just a bit too sour (you know the wood polish type of scent), but it always pulls together giving a really lovely clean vibe.
“Classic Myrrh” lasts and lasts and has an excellent sillage. I will pass on this though I recommend trying it.
My search for a frankincense keeps going! 🙂

A green curtain of austere violet leaves, embroidered with citric petitgrain parts to reveal the resinous, liturgical heart built around a powerful combo of myrrh and labdanum. This incense accord is complete with smoke and dusted with sandalwood and violet powder. When the smoke and dust settle down, what you are left with is a whisper of patchouli and vetiver that forms a barely perceptible layer over the skin.
Many titles from this line share common characteristics. They seem to have a high percentage of natural oils that make the star notes complex but at the same time create a “smudgy” effect as opposed to the sheer aesthetics of aroma chemicals. Sometimes they give an aromatherapy impression that might take some getting used to. Also, that retro violet note seems to find its way into literally every composition from this house. Myrrh is no different in these aspects.
I like the contrasted start of Classic Myrrh and really immerse myself in the rich heart notes. I will never say no to an aura of sandalwood either. What I am not that crazy about is that big dollop of smokiness that feels like I am carrying an incense burner in my pocket and the dry down that feels somewhat blunt and uninspired, like the stuffy air inside a head-shop. Overall, a nice fragrance with a strong core that could benefit even more from some polishing up and a more modern base. Try for yourselfs.

Honesty and no frills seem to be the key words to read Von Eusersdorff’s creations and Classic Myrrh completely fits this bill.
More about cedar and incense, than exactly myrrh, CM has a strong deja-vu vibe but feels, somewhat, more reassuring than boring. Smells more like antiques than churchy and in this context, it speaks of childhood memories, of grandma’s personal drawers and the first days of autumn when everything is rust colored. There’s a nice violet-incense accord that made me think about a gentler version of Maria Candida Gentile’s Exultat. Dry, sort of austere yet somewhat warm and comfortable. Intensely woody yet not as harsh and screechy as most of the fragrances in the same vein. Easy to wear, solid and definitely recommended. An extremely nice masculine and a mandatory check for any frankincense aficionado.
