Myrrhe & Delires by Guerlain, launched in 2012 and crafted by Thierry Wasser, is an Oriental Woody fragrance that marries the warmth of myrrh with a interplay of spices and florals. The composition opens with a bright citrus burst from grapefruit and bergamot before transitioning to a heart of osmanthus, violet leaf, rose, and jasmine. This floral bouquet provides a soft contrast to the spicy depth brought by licorice and incense, all anchored by rich vanilla and patchouli in the base. Myrrhe & Delires is a unisex fragrance that embodies Guerlain’s tradition of using luxurious materials.

Application Tips
One or two sprays are enough as the fragrance develops gradually. The citrus top notes fade within an hour, but the warm spicy and vanilla base lasts through the day. This scent pairs well with a light jacket for layering.
