Shalimar: the history of the first amber fragrance

Russian niche perfumery is often associated with names that rely on a deep understanding of raw materials and an authorial approach. The Myropol brand, founded in 2010, is a prime example and one of the significant milestones on the map of domestic perfumery art. The name, referring to the Greek word 'myrrh,' already hints at the sacredness and antiquity of the fragrance creation process.
The philosophy of Myropol is built on two unshakable pillars: uncompromising quality of natural ingredients and conceptual depth of each composition. The brand consciously avoids fleeting trends, creating scents that are reflections, scents that are impressions. Each bottle is not just a perfume, but a complete olfactory story, inviting dialogue and personal interpretation.
The recognizable style of Myropol often involves dense, textured, and emotionally rich compositions with a pronounced natural character. The brand skillfully works with challenging notes—those notes that require a perfumer's high mastery to tame and harmoniously integrate into the formula. The creators have a particular fondness for iris, resins, dark woody chords, leathery and animal notes, as well as unconventional interpretations of floral motifs.
An important role in shaping this unique signature was played by perfumer Andrey Oleynikov, the author of many cult compositions of the brand. His ability to create complex, multifaceted, and yet surprisingly cohesive scents has become a hallmark of Myropol. The house's perfumes often have an intellectual, even philosophical subtext, reflected in their names and concepts.
It is logical to start acquaintance with the world of Myropol from its hits, which for years retain the status of favorites among discerning audiences. Myropol - Iris is a hymn to iris root, cold, powdery, earthy, and incredibly elegant. It has long been considered a benchmark work in this niche and is a must-try for all connoisseurs of iris chords.
Equally famous is Myropol - Zourbagan — a powerful, almost gothic fragrance based on patchouli, leather, and black currant. This is a choice for bold natures who value depth and character. For lovers of exquisite florality, Myropol - Camée was created, where rose and jasmine are enveloped in silky musky trails. And Myropol - Kufi astonishes the imagination with its dry, spicy-woody character with notes of incense and pepper, creating the image of an oriental bazaar.
Myropol is a recluse brand in the best sense of the word. It does not chase mass fame, preferring dialogue with discerning connoisseurs. At the same time, its reputation in the professional sphere and among perfume geeks is impeccable. The house's fragrances are distinguished by outstanding longevity and complex evolution on the skin, unfolding for hours and requiring careful 'reading'.
The brand is known for its attention to detail, including minimalist but high-quality bottle design. Each fragrance is a limited series, emphasizing its exclusivity and value. Myropol has proven that in Russia, it is possible to create world-class niche perfumery that speaks the universal language of emotions and high craftsmanship, finding its devoted fans all over the world.
