WE LOVE THIS WARM, SENSUAL AND INTOXICATING COLOGNE INTENSE FROM JO MALONE LONDON.


 

The rich, potent sap of the Namibian myrrh tree, harvested by hand since records began, mingles with warm almond and lush vanilla.

Master Perfumer Mathilde Bijaoui said: “There is an atmosphere of addiction and carnal richness to this fragrance which appeals to both men and women. At the top there is a hint of lavender and a floral note, creating a comforting and voluptuous opening. The big, rich heart and base note of myrrh is sensual. And the tonka brings generosity. It’s captivating and mesmerising.”

Why the His & Hers team loves this fragrance: Like all members of the Cologne Intense collection, Myrrh & Tonka features rare, precious ingredients which would ordinarily be too expensive for most brands to harness.

Even if you tend to favour light, fresh fragrances, our advice is not to be put off by the ‘intense’ label of this cologne. It has a heady, yet subtle, nuanced fragrance which is never overpowering. We think it’s the modern answer to intense fragrances, as it’s so subtle, but has a luxurious, opulent quality and its scent lingers but never overpowers. We also think that if you’re giving this fragrance as a gift, the iconic black bottle will look suitably stylish in any home.
