  Jo Malone’s Myrrh & Lavender is a beast: it reminds me of Armani Eau pour Homme, YSL Y EDP, or Boucheron, with powerful citrus and herbs that flood the entire house. Then it tames that brash hesperidic vibe to reveal a floral and spicy heart where the myrrh really starts to shine. As it dries, you get cold, almost mentholated spices with a cool balsamic finish like Prada Amber Intense. Projection is low, but you’ll definitely smell yourself or get noticed when someone shakes your hand; with heat, it comes back in bursts. It lasts 6-8 hours, with the last 4 clinging to the skin. The initial power promise fades quickly, but the first four hours are a treat worth it. Perfect for daytime after a good shower and well-hydrated skin: apply generously, it’s allowed and even required, and you’ll have an amazing morning. It’s a bit classic, suited for well-dressed men 25+ with pressed shirts and polished shoes. If you catch it at a good price, max $130, it’s absolutely worth it.

  The opening of Jo Malone’s Myrrh and Lavender reminds me of Armani Eau pour Homme, YSL L’Homme Haute Concentration, or Boucheron Pour Homme: citrusy, herbal, with a pristine, very organic lavender. It’s wonderful and powerful, filling not just a room but the entire house. Gradually, that bold, zesty opening fades to give way to a very cool floral and spicy heart; you can already tell the myrrh is pushing from the depths. As it dries, cold spices appear, almost mentholated. The dry-down is a cool balsamic trail, similar to Prada Amber Pour Homme Intense. By the end, the projection isn’t as strong, but it’s noticeable on the wearer itself, in a hug or a greeting. If it’s hot or your body warms up, the fragrance revives with bursts. It lasts about 6 to 8 hours, with the last 4 hours staying on the skin. The promise of power in the opening fades quickly, but the enjoyment of the first 4 hours is worth it. Ideal for daytime, in the morning after a rich bath and hydrated skin; applying generously isn’t just allowed, it’s mandatory, and you’ll have an amazing morning. With a classic cut, I see it as ideal for men 25 and up, well-dressed without being overly elegant, definitely calling for a well-ironed shirt and nice polished shoes. If you find it at a reasonable price, max $130, then it’s definitely worth it.

  Looking for a gentleman’s scent? You’ve found it. It smells like a freshly showered white man with a sharp beard, courtesy of Roger & Gallet’s lavender. This is the kind of guy who wears cashmere and wool, no polyester in sight. He wears custom-made shoes, rides horses, and you’re dying for his handkerchief. Very elegant with a touch of sexiness. If you like what I just said, then yes. I want to wear it, but I’ll have to add some floral or fruity notes. I’m thinking of pairing it with Guerlain’s Aqua Allegoria Nerolia Vetiver. Let’s see what happens.

I want to wear it, but I’ll have to add some floral or fruity notes. I’m planning to pair it with Guerlain’s Nerolia Vetiver. Let’s see what happens.
