Still delighting me

More than two years ago I recieved a sample of "Classic Myrrh" by Von Eusersdorff and I never have forgotten it. But there were passing so many scents I tested. My experience concerning perfumes has grown a lot and is still growing.
Yet there are step by step remaining those which I cannot forget, those I wanted to own or which I 'm already owning. A few which I dare say I fell in love with. And of course many which I do not like at all.
But why did I never manage to buy at least a decant of "Classic Myrrh"? I have no idea. Now I received a new sample of it and tested it again to proove whether it is still one of my favorite scents or not and:
I am more intrigued of "Classic Myrrh" than the first time.
"Classic Myrrh" is a fine balanced fragance with noble powdry and flowry notes from the beginning on. Initially there is as well also the frankinsence typically like in a catholic mass which is of course attracting me. I can't help it since I was catholic when I was a child. Therefore I am not able to forget the mysterious and holy atmosphere in the catholic church I felt those times to which the smell and smoke of frankincence belongs to like the "Amen".
But mutually there is this slightly honey-sweet note, something creamy in "Classic Myrrh". The santal must be of an excellent quality. The violet-root and cistus are reinforcing the gentle character of "Classic Myrrh". Balsamic and resinous notes are also reducing the more pungent and smoky impact on frankinsence. But the very cultivated whiff of fresh and hay-green dried patchouli-blossoms is the crown of the perfect blend of "Classic Myrrh".
I'm describing this all apart but in fact the scent has a short course of developement. It has his mature within a short time and then it is lasting on my skin in a moderate but equally intensity for more than 12 hours.
Thinking about the gender of "Classic Myrrh" I consider it as a more female scent. Providet women who love perfumes which are preventing to be more male. Would I love it on men? Sure and with delightment. Which is reveiling the ambiguous character of "Classic Myrrh". It characterizes the gender relations so to say. And therefore "Classic Myrrh" is an unisex perfume.

Frankincense, Gold, and Myrrh

...were the gifts that, according to tradition, the three wise men presented to the newly born Jesus and his earthly parents.
Two thousand years and a bit more have passed since then - and almost more than anything else about this story, which today dangerously flirts with kitsch, I have been preoccupied since childhood with the question of how this mixture of frankincense and myrrh might have smelled back in the stable.
As a child, I knew frankincense exclusively in its cold, numbing, awe-inspiring form in the rather unwelcoming Catholic churches, which I associate with hard benches, cold stone floors, and a strict atmosphere, both then and now.
It is hardly conceivable that Jesus would have felt particularly comfortable there.
Equally unimaginable is that it could have ever smelled so uninviting in the East, the homeland of our kings.
Not even two thousand years ago.

We are in the year 2013.
A kind person has deemed me worthy to get to know "Classic Myrrh," a creation from a house I was previously unaware of - "Von Eusersdorff" sounds to me like a fine men's outfitter from Hamburg, but not like a German perfume manufacturer based in bustling New York, with a nearly three-hundred-year-old tradition.
And with a single spray, it manages to answer a question that has been pondered for almost four decades: how it might have smelled after the arrival of the kings in the stable of Bethlehem.
Frankincense, Gold, and Myrrh.

Radiantly bright and yet so gentle, so soft, the perhaps most beautiful frankincense unfolds on my skin, one that my nose and I have encountered so far - a hint of orange resonates and gives the frankincense a touch of irresistible sweetness, warming and spicing, uplifting and contradicting any notion of frankincense being solely sacred and uninviting.
For several minutes, I float and revel, marveling in disbelief, but before I can completely lose my footing, gentle woody undertones weave into the flying scent tapestry and lead it softly onto firmer ground.
It is warm there, safe and friendly and inviting; I feel welcome and well taken care of.
Unnoticeably to my nose, frankincense and myrrh must have met and entered into an inseparable liaison - it is impossible for me to say where the boundaries lie, where one note ends and another begins; the fusion of resinous-balsamic-sweet and at the same time deep, smoky notes is too perfect, surrounded by warm, dry, matte light that reminds me of the dark shimmer of ancient gold.
"Classic Myrrh" gains depth and quiet dignity over many hours, without ever losing its friendly and approachable character, without evoking any associations with churches or monasteries.
A scent for kings, for queens.
And perhaps the scent of that night in Bethlehem.

Twice Cared For

After my comment on the super-myrrh-creamy, yet unfortunately rather quiet Caldo Encens, I received a suggestion from our Palonera to try Classic Myrrh: it offers a dreamlike, non-scratchy myrrh that lets you float. Such hints reliably fill up wish lists. Recently, I received a package from noirceur; he had gone through my list and simply picked CM for me. Isn’t it nice to be cared for twice? And these aren’t the only lovely people here who think about what might please. Thank you very much!

You can feel secure with Classic Myrrh, just not from the very beginning. Because at first, I find the scent - perhaps influenced by my expectations - quite strict. Non-scratchy doesn’t fit so far. It’s similar to when, on a Sunday morning, Dad hadn’t shaved yet and initially scratched while cuddling before finding the right, cozy spot. Do my children experience the same today? Sometimes my son rubs his cheek or ear against my few stubbles, and then we both have to laugh.

Moreover, besides the myrrh at the start, I perceive a kind of mint or rather eucalyptus freshness. Patience is required! I wouldn’t have guessed Petitgrain with the sour undertone, but so be it. And indeed, I find the scent comparatively sour; my previous test candidates with a myrrh focus (Myrrhe Imperiale, Arso) certainly didn’t have this twist.

Only after three hours does the scent become more pleasant for me; the incense peaks are gently smoothed out, and more warmth comes in. And although I don’t find it equally “floating,” I can fully understand Palonera now. It has sinking potential for those with a corresponding scent preference.

Classic Myrrh, however, never becomes really cozy in my perception, despite the skin closeness it takes on at least in the second part. It remains too bright, almost citrus-like in hints, even into the final hours, regardless of the growing warmth. Overall, the scent only changes slowly. Caldo Encens became more robust in character, simultaneously creamier: more Nivea. Classic Myrrh stays closer to the smoke, on one hand mild and rounded, on the other hand not flattened at all and always a bit demanding.

Regarding the other ingredients, I get quite lost. Is the cistus responsible for the mildness? Does the violet perhaps contribute to the idea of a throat lozenge note that becomes noticeable towards the end? I can definitely confirm a woody undertone for the afternoon. Nevertheless: This scent rightly carries the second part of its name. You get what it says on the label.

Conclusion: I usually prefer incense scents with a bit more glow, but Classic Myrrh is great as a mediator between oriental smolderers and half meditation aids like CdG's Hinoki.

Indissoluble Incense

CM has this Amouage fluffiness. CM is of delightful softness, very bright and cuddly. CM exudes an incense in a form I have never encountered before, so dense and so determined. An incense as determined as if it were traveling on tracks, so purposeful, so unwavering, so indissoluble. The care in its presentation is phenomenal. However, CM is not an incense wall from the altar; it has this fluffy, feather-soft aura, feeling like a high-quality cold foam mattress (ouch, for the comparison).

Somewhere, CM has a silky sweetness that is inseparably linked to the incense. You can distinguish incense and sweetness here, but you cannot separate them in CM.

CM is so voluminous within itself, it cannot fit through any door gap; it is simply too wide, too epic, and too expansive in its patience.

At the same time, CM is very balsamic; perhaps this is due to the sandalwood. Very soft, balsamic-sweet in the purest form of a dense cloud in the sky. This reminds me particularly of: a snow-white, dense, massive cloud that is so compact that you cannot see through it; it does not allow even a crack for visibility, no streak that could reveal the sky behind it.

The cistus, I think I am on to something. It exudes its soft-resinous, balsamic scent, and I believe that the noble, smooth, soft resinousness is conjured up by it.

Patchouli wants to join me. It delivers a very mild earthiness, no rough earthiness, no harsh, dirty, rugged, grim earthiness. It is a gentle patchouli, as I also recognize in Heritage. And this is CM's least common denominator of the entire composition, into which everything flows:

Its gentleness.

Cinnamon, I could swear.

But swearing is a tricky business, especially with love oaths one should be incredibly cautious, or so they say, and when Mr. Eusersdorff names his fragrance Classic Myrrh, which is not even listed in the fragrance pyramid, one can at least raise an eyebrow in skepticism.

To begin with, all the previous writers and commentators have written incredibly good and great interpretations of the scent, nothing to say against that, top-notch, but some things have, of course, probably due to insufficient research, been left out and I would like to add them here.

Cinnamon. It's in here. *I swear* And it is so unbelievably dry that I just threw away all my terry towels. Frankincense, which is prominently listed up top, plays only a minor role, it's not worth mentioning, really, you can easily overlook it, and you should. There is nothing sacred or graceful here, even the vetiver keeps a low profile. Good. Just keep quiet for a moment. This incense consists of dry wood (super dry), and a cinnamon-laden, esoteric-shop-like, resinous, un-balsamic paste that the early Egyptians either used for rubbing the deceased or administered as an aphrodisiac.
Feel free to nitpick about "stiff" on your own.

Nevertheless, Classic Myrrh is for me an average, unsweetened, unloving, and something else with un-; masculine candidate that unfortunately does not claim a spot among the best on my myrrh scale.

What a pity.

I think the violet is throwing a wrench in my plans again. Despite many notes I like, I can't connect with it.

Archaic incense. Root beer-like brew, softened by iris-sandal creaminess and citrus elements. Semi-obstructive.

Violets with labdanum in the foreground, the gentle incense surrounds the protagonists. Personally, it's too sweet for me, also thanks to sandalwood/guaiac.
