Carolina Herrera's Gold Myrrh Absolute is an Oriental fragrance released in 2021 that leans into the house's signature warmth and approachability without sacrificing depth or complexity.

The fragrance opens with black pepper and immortelle, delivering an earthy, slightly sweet introduction that immediately signals this won't be a typical gourmand. The heart develops around cacao pod and licorice, adding a bittersweet, almost smoky character that prevents the sweetness from becoming cloying. Myrrh and vanilla anchor the base, creating a resinous, amber-tinged dry-down that feels more mysterious than the opening might suggest. The overall profile is balsamic and earthy, with gourmand touches that feel intentional rather than dominant.

This is a fragrance for those who appreciate Oriental scents but prefer restraint and nuance. It works equally well as a cooler-weather everyday scent or an evening option, and its unisex positioning isn't a afterthought, the composition genuinely sidesteps typical gender markers. If you're drawn to fragrances like The Reverie, The Seducer, and The Mystic, Gold Myrrh Absolute will likely resonate.

Fragrance Notesbrand verified
Top · 0–30 min
Black Pepper
Black Pepper
Sharp, dry, and immediately present, black pepper in perfumery is spice without sweetness, heat without heaviness. It adds edge to citrus openings and warmth to woody bases, creating contrast that keeps a fragrance interesting. One of the most versatile spice notes, comfortable in everything from fresh colognes to deep orientals.
Immortelle
Immortelle
Also known as helichrysum or everlasting flower, immortelle has one of the most distinctive smells in natural perfumery: warm, honeyed, and curry-like, with notes of maple syrup and chamomile. Its unusual, almost edible character makes it a polarising note that is unforgettable when used well. A signature of certain Provençal fragrances.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Cacao Pod
Cacao Pod
Licorice
Licorice
Sweet, anise-like, and slightly medicinal, licorice adds a distinctive herbal sweetness that is completely its own. It's simultaneously comforting and slightly challenging, with a dark, slightly bitter edge beneath its sweetness. Found in orientals, gourmands, and some unexpected aromatic compositions where it adds an unusual twist.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Myrrh
Myrrh
Deep, bittersweet, and slightly medicinal, myrrh is a resin with a complex, almost anise-like quality that sets it apart from frankincense. It adds a dark, almost sacred quality to oriental fragrances and is more challenging and assertive than its biblical companion. A note that rewards patience.
Vanilla
Vanilla
Warm, sweet, and universally appealing, vanilla is to fragrance what salt is to cooking. Real vanilla is complex and slightly smoky, though most perfumery vanilla is synthetic and reads as clean, sweet, and creamy. It slows the evaporation of other notes and is the reason certain fragrances feel like a second skin.
