EDC · 2016 · unisex

Jo Malone's Myrrh & Tonka arrives as an unexpectedly rich entry in the house's typically minimal cologne collection. Released in 2016, it marks a departure from the brand's signature restraint, leaning instead into warmth and depth.

The fragrance opens with a brief lavender top note before quickly settling into its true character: a balsamic, sweet myrrh heart surrounded by gourmand tonality. The base builds on this with almond, tonka bean, and vanilla, creating a creamy, almost dessert-like drydown. The overall effect is oriental and indulgent without becoming cloying, balancing earthy myrrh against vanilla sweetness for a fragrance that reads as both comforting and slightly mysterious.

This EDC suits anyone drawn to gourmand scents with textural complexity. It works well for cooler months or evening wear, though its moderate projection makes it accessible for daytime if you prefer subtlety. Myrrh & Tonka aligns with The Romantic, The Hedonist, and The Reverie.

Fragrance Notesbrand verified
Top · 0–30 min
Lavender
Lavender
One of perfumery's most essential and beloved notes, clean, herbal, and slightly sweet with a calming, familiar quality that works in almost any context. Lavender is simultaneously the most versatile and the most human of ingredients: it appears in barbershop colognes, romantic florals, and sophisticated orientals alike. A note that simply works.
Heart · 30 min – 3 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.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Almond
Almond
Sweet, warm, and slightly creamy, almond has a marzipan-like quality that sits at the edge of floral and gourmand. It's softer and rounder than vanilla, with a gentle nuttiness that adds warmth without weight. Often used in classic powdery florals and in oriental compositions that want sweetness without sugar.
Tonka Bean
Tonka Bean
Sweet, powdery, and almond-like with hay-like, slightly tobacco undertones, tonka bean is one of perfumery's most useful base notes. It shares coumarin with fresh hay and freshly cut grass, adding a warmth that feels nostalgic and comforting. Essential in gourmand and soft oriental fragrances.
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.
