The Character and Idea Behind the Fragrance
Myrrha Abbate y La Mantia is a unisex eau de parfum built around the expressive interplay of myrrh, spices, and dry woody nuances.
This is a niche composition with character: deep, resinous, and noticeable, yet it opens with an unexpected citrus accent.
The fragrance was created by the Italian house Abbate y La Mantia, whose work is defined by emotion, craftsmanship, and a connection with nature.
Myrrha captures this aesthetic through the contrast of bright bitter orange, a spicy heart, and a rich balsamic base.
How Myrrha Unfolds
The composition opens with bitter orange, also known as bigarade.
Its citrus character is unlike a light, slightly sweet orange accord: it is tarter, drier, and distinctly bitter, making the opening energetic and focused.
Gradually, the fragrance becomes warmer and spicier.
Carrot seeds, clove, and myrrh meet at the heart, creating a complex oriental-balsamic accord with an earthy, slightly dry, resinous character.
In the drydown, patchouli remains — a dark, woody-earthy note that gives the composition density and lasting power.
Thanks to it, Myrrha smells less like a simple myrrh soliflore and more like a multi-layered perfume with a striking transition from citrus bitterness to spicy depth.
Sillage and Wearability
Myrrha is positioned as a unisex fragrance and will appeal to those who enjoy rich compositions without being bound by traditional gender conventions.
It does not try to please everyone from the first seconds; instead, the fragrance emphasizes individuality and develops especially intriguingly on the skin, responding to its warmth.
Myrrha has very strong sillage, so the composition will be noticeable in a room and is suited to occasions when you want to leave a memorable impression.
It feels most at home in cool weather, in the evening, on a walk, at a meeting, or at a cultural event, when the spicy and balsamic notes can unfold with greater volume.
The exact amount to apply to skin and clothing is not specified in the available information.
Given the very strong sillage, it is best to apply it sparingly and assess its development gradually: myrrh, clove, and patchouli can remain noticeable on fabric and skin for a long time.
Who Should Try It
This perfume will appeal to anyone who enjoys spicy, balsamic, citrus, and woody compositions.
Myrrha could be an excellent choice for those interested in fragrances with a bitter opening, a resinous heart, and a deep, slightly earthy drydown.
In its overall mood, the composition may recall Yves Saint Laurent Opium Eau D'ete Summer Fragrance (2003), Oscar de la Renta Oscar, or Maison Rebatchi Feu Patchouli.
However, Myrrha maintains its own identity through the combination of bigarade, carrot seeds, clove, and myrrh.
What Is Known About the Release
The available information does not specify the year of release, production period, collection name, perfumer, or other concentrations of Myrrha.
It is therefore more accurate to consider the fragrance primarily through its olfactory profile: bright bitter orange at the opening, a spicy-resinous heart, and patchouli in the base.
