Nadziratel – :
A milky myrrh potion with persistent (clean) patchouli facets haloed in an “incense”, soft & distant – itself embellished by slight nuances of herbaceous pages of papyrus with a cinnamon stick bookmark – nestled in a powdered boudoir sofa… or rather the memory of some such dimly lit chamber. And call me crazy but somewhere in the recesses of this room there’s a vase of roses… long since dried out. Therein lies the mystery??
Something about this wants to be naughty but it’s still innocent. There is a purity – a certain sacredness.
It’s uncomplicated but warming enough in a resinous quiet.
At long last the hot, humid summer has graciously given way to a rainy October cleansing the earth & senses for the coming cool north wind.
I reached for this today and felt the promise of Autumnal delight, holy days ahead, and the fortification of warm (in from the cold) as yet distant winter nights.
Wonderful for layering or simply to cuddle up with as sillage is utterly unobtrusive though longevity is quite impressive – I get five hours even after bathing(!) and otherwise all evening through the morning light from the black label “concentre”. I appreciate the aesthetic of this brand and that they offer 200ml & 500ml refills, which are an excellent value.
My only quibble with this lovely is just how VERY intimate the sillage is; if only it would project beyond an embrace. But perhaps that’s just my skin.
★★★☆☆

On me it was plain cheap vanilla not myrrh nor anything else listed. I had to wash it off immediately. Mystérieux indeed!

A blast of resinous fir with a drydown of sweet cinnamon. For me, this combination means a perfect Christmas fragrance: Christmas tree and rice pudding with sugar and cinnamon. Not what I expected but it’s lovely, inoffensive, long lasting and great value for money.

On me, Myrrhe & Encens Mystérieux has a rather simple evolution. Like its name suggests, I got mainly creamy myrrh on my skin, while incense adds a bit of woody backbone. The myrrh here doesn’t have much aldehydic nuance, but mainly the balmy, suave sweetness further enhanced by warm tonka bean. The incense here is not overly cold or spicy, either, just gets enough zest and structure to the otherwise resinous, creamy myrrh and tonka bean.
Myrrhe & Encens Mystérieux stays mostly close to skin for about 7 hours. Although it’s hardly the most mysterious oriental fragrances, I find it a very versatile and approachable warm resinous fragrance, thanks to its simplistic development and gentle sillage, and especially great for the price. I’d definitely recommend it as a budget resinous myrrh fragrance.
