The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2021 by Carolina Herrera and crafted by perfumers Alex Lee and Véronique Nyberg, Gold Myrrh Absolute is a warm and spicy oriental fragrance that captures the essence of rich indulgence. The composition opens with black pepper and immortelle, creating a fresh yet sharp contrast against the sweetness of cacao pod and licorice. As it evolves, myrrh and vanilla take center stage, enveloping the senses in a balsamic warmth that feels both comforting and luxurious.
This fragrance blooms best when applied to pulse points and allowed time to develop on skin. The top notes are vibrant but fleeting, so focus on the heart and base for lasting warmth. It's ideal for cooler evenings or layered under a jacket during the day.
