Serge Lutens La Myrrhe

In the vast, golden archives of Serge Lutens, few creations command the quiet reverence of La Myrrhe. Released in 1995, this fragrance stands as a testament to the symbiotic genius of Serge Lutens and Christopher Sheldrake. It is not merely a perfume; it is an alchemical exploration of the sacred resin that has defined human ritual for millennia.
La Myrrhe captures the duality of the cold, crystalline air of a cathedral and the warm, golden glow of burning incense. It is a sophisticated, unisex composition that eschews the common trends of the nineties, opting instead for a timeless, powdery, and balsamic profile that feels as relevant today as it did at its inception. For the collector seeking depth, history, and an uncompromising olfactory experience, La Myrrhe remains a singular pillar of the house.
