EveningThematic Territory
A cashmere blanket by a dying fire. Resinous sweetness that feels lived-in rather than performative — Jo Malone's concession that sometimes more is more.
Era & Context
Modern
Part of the Cologne Intense line — Jo Malone's answer to criticism that their fragrances disappeared too quickly. Myrrh & Tonka proved the house could do depth and projection without betraying its identity. A gateway for Jo Malone loyalists into warmer, heavier territory.
