A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
Bergamot arrives with citrus brightness whilst peony adds a dusted-powder quality that keeps things delicate—these opening minutes feel like a palate cleanser before the real narrative begins. Within minutes, myrrh emerges with a slight spiced bite, the citrus already fading into background.
Myrrh becomes the absolute protagonist, its resinous sweetness deepening as opoponax and benzoin create a honeyed, almost caramel-like warmth. Amber swells beneath this trio, making the composition feel luminous rather than shadowy, whilst vanilla threads through like a gentle counterargument to the spice (76% of the composition's character). This is where the fragrance reaches its fullest expression—a three-dimensional amber sweetness wrapped in resinous comfort.
Vanilla and sandalwood move forward as myrrh recedes into softer focus, the cedarwood providing a dry, slightly papery texture that extends the scent's narrative into minimalism. Musk creates a skin-scent finale—intimate, almost undetectable beyond a breath away, lasting several more hours as little more than an amber-vanilla whisper with sandalwood's wood-grain texture.
Tesori d'Oriente Mirra is a study in amber-sweetness tempered by ecclesiastical resin—a fragrance that feels like pressing your nose into the pages of an ancient manuscript, where myrrh and benzoin have stained the paper over centuries. The opening brightens with bergamot and peony, but these are merely courtesies; what you're really here for arrives swiftly in the heart, where myrrh turns creamy against opoponax's balsamic sweetness, whilst amber provides a honeyed backbone that prevents the composition from veering into medicinal territory. This is incense filtered through vanilla and sandalwood rather than pure temple smoke—softer, more intimate, almost dressing-gown-worn-at-dusk compared to harsher frankincense fragrances.
The character here is contemplative without being solemn. Amber and vanilla conversations create a gourmand undercurrent that appeals to those who find straight woody or resinous scents austere, yet the spiced accords (76%) and woody base prevent any cloying descent. This is a fragrance for solitary moments: reading in candlelight, an evening walk through amber-lit streets in autumn, or that particular silence of late-night reflection.
