Myrrh & Tonka

Parfumour’s Interpretation of Jo Malone Myrrh & Tonka

Myrrh & Tonka is a warm resinous vanilla scent, and our version keeps that feel: a soft lavender opening, a smoky myrrh heart, and a sweet tonka base.

The Story Behind the Scent

Jo Malone built Myrrh & Tonka around the pairing of resinous myrrh and sweet tonka, warm and comforting in the brand’s signature clean style.

Our interpretation follows that idea. We keep a soft lavender and bergamot up top, let myrrh warm the middle, and finish on a sweet tonka bean, vanilla and musk base.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

The original is a boutique release sold at premium pricing. We build ours at a high perfume oil concentration and sell direct, so you get the same character for a fraction of the price.

Who It’s For

It suits anyone who loves a warm, sweet, cosy resinous scent and wants a boutique style fragrance without the boutique price.

Common Questions

How close is it to Jo Malone Myrrh & Tonka?

It stays close to the warm, resinous vanilla character of the original. It is our own interpretation rather than a copy, but the impression is very familiar.

How can it cost so much less than Jo Malone Myrrh & Tonka?

Most of the price of a boutique fragrance goes to the brand name, packaging and retail markup rather than the liquid itself. We put our budget into the scent and sell direct, so you get a comparable experience for a fraction of the price.

Is this the same perfume as Jo Malone Myrrh & Tonka?

No. We do not use the same formula or ingredients. It is an independent interpretation made to evoke the same style at a much lower price.

How long does it last?

You can expect several hours on skin. Spraying onto clothing as well as skin helps it last even longer.

Who is it best for?

It is unisex and is made for evenings and cooler weather.

How should I apply it?

Spray on pulse points such as the wrists, neck and inner elbows. A light spritz on clothing makes it last through the day.
