The Character of Frankincense & Myrrh
Frankincense & Myrrh is a masculine fragrance by Asylum Shave Works, built around one of perfumery’s most evocative themes: the resinous, church-like scent of frankincense and myrrh.
This is not a light everyday fresh fragrance, but a rich balsamic composition with a meditative, deep, and slightly mysterious mood.
The name honestly reflects the concept: Frankincense & Myrrh is dedicated to a duet of incense materials, without unnecessary fuss or an overly elaborate pyramid.
The fragrance will appeal to those who love noble smokiness, warm resins, and the atmosphere of ancient rituals, where scent becomes part of one’s image and personal space.
Scent and Trail
In the composition, frankincense brings a slightly dry, smoky touch, resinous coolness, and the sensation of air steeped in incense.
Myrrh softens it with a warm, dark balsamic nuance, making the duet feel fuller, calmer, and more enveloping.
Its stated very strong trail makes Frankincense & Myrrh a noticeable fragrance: it can leave behind an expressive resinous trace and quickly reveal its wearer’s character.
This type of perfumery unfolds best in cool weather, in the evening, on a walk, or whenever you want to choose a truly atmospheric fragrance rather than a neutral one.
How to Wear the Fragrance
Given its very strong trail, it is wise to start with one spray on the skin and assess its development after some time.
Apply the fragrance to clothing with particular care: one light spray from a distance is enough, and the dosage should be reduced in small spaces and offices.
Frankincense & Myrrh is primarily intended for men, though its resinous character may also appeal to all lovers of incense-based compositions, regardless of gender.
Information about the release year, concentration, collection, perfumer, and other versions of the fragrance is not specified, so it is best perceived as an independent statement about two key ingredients.
Similar Impressions
If you enjoy dense Oriental resinous notes and a rich, travel-inspired mood, you may wish to try Zoologist Perfumes Camel for comparison.
However, Frankincense & Myrrh is interesting precisely for its minimalist focus: its character rests on the striking contrast between smoky frankincense and warm myrrh.
