An intimate meeting of precious myrrh and wild rosehip. Delicate, tangy.

“This legendary material evokes the world of desert caravans and the former perfume routes. A myrrh, then more precious than gold, reinvented and reworked around rosehip, a wild, fresh and tangy rose that never surrenders.” Christine Nagel
Myrrhe Églantine doesn’t shy away from rich saturated notes. Soft musks, licorice like incense, and creamy woods are humming as its roses bloom. Églantine, by the way, is the French name for a wild rose, the same plant whose rose hips make for a raspberry and apple tasting jam. The fruity connection is subtle, but it serves to lighten the composition.

The fragrance is built around plush materials, but it doesn’t feel heavy. Take myrrh, one of its key notes, for instance. It’s one of the densest materials available to perfumers. Nagel adds a metallic rose accord that not only brings out the floral facet of myrrh, but also makes the perfume shimmer, from top to bottom.
