Nº 8 Myrrh Blood-Drop
Nº 8 Myrrh Blood-Drop is a bright, resinous woody spicy fragrance built around sweet tangerine, saffron, incense, cedar, oud and patchouli. Wearers describe it as luminous at first, then darker, smoky, balsamic and softly woody as it settles. It suits someone who wants niche character without harshness: citrus warmth, incense texture, a metallic red-fruit nuance, and a smooth oud-patchouli base that keeps.

Performance feedback is generally favorable. Sillage is most often described through moderate votes, with some stronger impressions, so it should be noticeable without always filling a room. Longevity appears solid, with several long lasting and very long lasting responses, and one wearer reporting hours of projection followed by an extended skin scent.

Main Accords
10 MAPPEDThe warm spicy and citrus accords lead the experience, with saffron giving the tangerine a heated, slightly leathery edge. Woody, amber, oud and smoky facets develop next, giving the fragrance a resinous body. Patchouli adds earth and softness, while the balsamic and fruity sides keep the dry-down rounded rather than dry or severe.

EDITORIAL“Nº 8 Myrrh Blood-Drop Review”
Nº 8 Myrrh Blood-Drop is one of those niche fragrances where the official pyramid only tells part of the story. On paper it is tangerine and saffron over incense, cedar, oud and patchouli. On skin, reviewers describe something more textured: bright mandarin, resin, smoke, soft woods, earthy patchouli and a curious metallic red nuance that some read almost like a dark rose effect.
The opening is the hook. The citrus is not a thin splash of freshness. It comes across as sweet, juicy and luminous, with saffron giving it warmth, color and a slightly leathery edge. Several wearers point to a metallic quality in the first stage, which makes the tangerine feel sharper and more unusual than a simple orange note.
As it settles, incense and woods become more important. The fragrance moves into a balsamic, smoky, spicy register, but it does not seem to collapse into a heavy oud perfume. Reviewers keep returning to balance: the mandarin stays in conversation with the heart and base, the smoke stays elegant, and the patchouli and oud add depth without making the scent feel muddy.
The base is where Nº 8 Myrrh Blood-Drop becomes especially appealing for people who enjoy older style woody ambers and niche orientals. One wearer compared the direction to vintage M7, while another noticed a soft fruity patchouli-wood effect with a warm, almost vanilla-like roundness. That does not make it a direct dupe, but it does place it near the family of smooth oud, woods, resin and sweet warmth.
Performance appears better than average from the supplied feedback. The sillage votes lean mostly moderate with some strong impressions, while longevity has a meaningful number of long lasting and very long lasting responses. One detailed review described projection for roughly the first several hours, then a long skin scent that continued well past the usual point of disappearance.
This is best sampled by someone who enjoys saffron, incense and woody amber structures, but still wants a bright fruit thread running through the wear. It feels refined and distinctive rather than loud for its own sake. If you dislike metallic saffron, smoky notes, patchouli or oud, it may be too specific. If those materials appeal to you, Nº 8 Myrrh Blood-Drop looks like one of Binet-Papillon's more memorable compositions.
FAQs
What does Nº 8 Myrrh Blood-Drop smell like?+
It smells like sweet tangerine and saffron over incense, cedar, oud and patchouli. Reviewers often describe a luminous citrus opening, a resinous smoky heart, and a warm woody base with earthy, balsamic and slightly metallic facets.
Is Nº 8 Myrrh Blood-Drop more citrus or woody?+
It starts clearly citrusy, with tangerine and mandarin-like brightness, but the wear moves toward woods, incense, patchouli and oud. The citrus does not vanish quickly for some wearers, which keeps the darker base feeling colorful rather than heavy.
Is Nº 8 Myrrh Blood-Drop unisex?+
Yes. The available evidence supports it as unisex. The scent has sweet citrus and soft warmth, but also saffron, incense, cedar, oud and patchouli, so it does not sit cleanly in a traditionally masculine or feminine lane.
How strong is Nº 8 Myrrh Blood-Drop?+
Most performance feedback points to moderate to strong presence rather than a quiet skin scent from the start. Several wearers found it noticeable for hours, with some describing very long wear once it settles closer to the skin.
How long does Nº 8 Myrrh Blood-Drop last?+
Longevity feedback is generally good. The vote pattern includes many long lasting and eternal impressions, and one detailed wearer described moderate projection for the first few hours followed by an extended skin scent.
When is the best season to wear Nº 8 Myrrh Blood-Drop?+
The warm spicy, woody, smoky and balsamic facets make it especially well suited to fall and winter, though the tangerine brightness can make it wearable in spring or cooler summer evenings if applied lightly.
Is Nº 8 Myrrh Blood-Drop good for daytime or evening?+
It can work for both. The citrus opening gives it daytime lift, while the incense, oud, saffron and patchouli make it feel natural for evening wear. It is best when you want something distinctive rather than invisible.
Does Nº 8 Myrrh Blood-Drop smell like myrrh?+
The official note list does not name myrrh, but reviewers repeatedly describe resinous, incense-like and balsamic effects that connect with the name. The brand also positions it as oriental and fruity, with the name tied to a moth rather than a literal note list.
Is Nº 8 Myrrh Blood-Drop similar to YSL M7?+
One reviewer compared its olfactory dimension to vintage M7, especially through the soft woody, oud and patchouli base. That comparison is useful as a direction, not a confirmed dupe, because the tangerine and saffron character gives this fragrance its own shape.
Is Nº 8 Myrrh Blood-Drop a safe blind buy?+
Sampling first is sensible. The reviews are strongly positive, but the scent has saffron, metallic nuances, incense smoke, oud and patchouli, which can be personal. It is safer if you already enjoy warm spicy citrus woods and resinous niche perfumes.

Dupes & Alternatives
COMMUNITY DUPESCOREThe clearest supplied comparison is vintage Yves Saint Laurent M7, mentioned for the broader woody oud impression. That said, Nº 8 Myrrh Blood-Drop should not be treated as a direct dupe. Its persistent tangerine, saffron brightness, incense and soft patchouli warmth make it more of an adjacent choice for people who enjoy smooth oud-amber fragrances with a fruity opening.
