Mathilde Bijaoui

"Myrrh & Tonka Cologne Intense is a warm, resinous amber composition built around the contrast of aromatic lavender, rich myrrh, and creamy tonka. Released in 2016, it became one of the better-known entries in Jo Malone London's Cologne Intense line. The fragrance is widely described as smooth, comforting, and sensual, with an unusual transparency for an oriental-leaning scent profile. Its core DNA moves from dry herbal softness into a balsamic, slightly sweet, almond-vanillic drydown. Although marketed within the brand's cologne format, it wears richer and darker than Jo Malone's standard citrus-herbal offerings. It is generally considered fully unisex, with a cozy elegance that suits cooler weather especially well."

Reviews Summary

“Reviews consistently describe Myrrh & Tonka as smooth, cozy, sexy, and highly wearable, with a creamy resinous drydown centered on myrrh and tonka rather than an overt dessert-like sweetness. Users frequently praise its comforting yet elegant unisex character and its suitability for cooler weather. Performance feedback is mixed: many find it better lasting than standard Jo Malone colognes, while others still report softer projection or shorter wear than expected for the price.”
