In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Carolina Herrera Gold Myrrh Absolute opens with a crisp snap of crushed black pepper and dried immortelle before settling into a warm, multifaceted resinous core. The heart introduces unsweetened cacao pod and dark licorice, giving the composition a dusty, bittersweet character that never turns into cheap confectioner…

Reviews →

Dhatarattha Raja opens with soft pomelo, lemon and a green, lightly peppery lift, then settles into floral herbs, warm spice and a resinous woody base. On skin, it seems to move from bitter-green citrus into a deeper ambered sweetness, with a more masculine-leaning unisex feel.
