Myrrh & Tonka

Myrrh & Tonka by Jo Malone London is a deeply warm, unisex fragrance characterized by its enveloping sweetness, subtle incense-like depth, and long-lasting projection. It opens with a bright, dry lavender that quickly mellows into a smooth blend of vanilla, tonka bean, and almond, creating a creamy, almost edible base. The myrrh note is present throughout, lending a smoky, slightly medicinal character that grounds the sweetness, preventing it from becoming cloying. It feels like a comforting, sophisticated embrace—ideal for autumn and winter, offering both cozy warmth and elegant refinement. While it projects strongly and lasts well beyond typical Jo Malone offerings, its presence can be intense or overwhelming for some, particularly in warmer weather or on sensitive skin. The scent evolves linearly, with minimal development, and is not for those seeking something fresh, bold, or highly original—though it earns praise for its balanced, wearable sophistication and exceptional longevity. It works beautifully on both men and women, bridging masculine and feminine aesthetics with ease.
