Smoke offering to the goddess of flowers
"Arabian Myrrh" belongs to one of the first bottlings I received in my time here and it was immediately clear to me: this fragrance deserves a comment.
But as it is: the bottlings become more and more numerous; innovations or special brands are tested and discussed and the old faithful friends fall into oblivion.
I always try to bring order into my fragrance chaos and so the "Arabian Myrrh" bottling remained this time extra next to the laptop.
This time there is no escape, no forgetting!
So tonight is finally time to make good on my promise from back then.
The Merchant of Venice brand is still particularly close to me; and I really like this Museum Collection series, too.
Beautiful, mostly solitaire fragrances that can be wonderfully layered and are also worth getting to know on their own.
"Arabian Myrrh" is as a fragrance densely woven and in its resinous-smoky physicality very pleasant, because not loud or annoying.
Fine resins and woods blend into a balsamic incense in which bergamot and coriander make a brief appearance.
The main character in this fragrance game, however, is jasmine: large-flowered mature white jasmine, which reaches its full beauty only in the evening hours.
The golden faces wear their white flower crowns proudly and so is their fragrance:
intense, heavy and floating on the spicy smoke clouds of resin and cedar.
Sandalwood and patchouli as sensory caresses, vanilla and musk as slightly erotic additions fit perfectly into this fragrance fabric, which is in different shades of white and brown. The crown also gets "Arabian Myrrh" put on by a good dose of amber; fine gold streaks run through this fragrance, rounding it sensual and warm!
This creates an incense of a very special kind; not quite as scratchy and coarse as many incense compositions, but still of resinous-spicy personality.
Who still likes a bit more jasmine, can layer well with "Indian Jasmine", a fragrance also from the Museum Collection of "The Merchant of Venice".
Both get along extremely well; but one thing must be said: You have to really like jasmine in this rich intensity.
"Arabian Myrrh" alone is absolutely socially acceptable, although not of outstanding durability.
But a connoisseur of this brand does not necessarily expect that.
My little atomizer will no longer be forgotten; there is not much left, but I will still enjoy this remainder of the wonderful smoky jasmine scent at the end of winter.
So much like the motto: "Keep shining the World needs your Light!"
